During testing I discovered that the condition should be more complex.
The problem is that the logic should be bound only to the minibuffer
that showed the completions, not in other minibuffers within a set of
recursive minibuffers.  An example: `M-x TAB C-h v down RET'
raised an error "Minibuffer is not active for completion".
This error comes from `choose-completion-string',
so I copied the same logic from `choose-completion-string':

  (when-let ((window (get-buffer-window "*Completions*" 0)))
    (when (eq (buffer-local-value 'completion-reference-buffer
                                  (window-buffer window))
              (window-buffer (active-minibuffer-window)))
      cmd))

>> Same here.

Now pushed the fixed patch.
