I've checked in a fix for the lisp-complete-symbol erasing buffer text
problem.

emacs -Q
 
In *scratch*, type this, and leave cursor after the final `for':
 
format-decode-buffer
forward-char
 
for
 
Then hit `M-TAB'. Choose one of the completions using mouse-2 in *Completions*.
 
Only the final `for' should be completed, but instead all of the text
in the buffer is replaced by the chosen completion.

This is a regression from Emacs 22.
