It doesn't fail in your example.  I explained above how it can fail.

But rather than thinking about how to "fix" this I'd try to find out why
`display-buffer' is called _before_ burying the completions buffer.  The
plain fact that the completions buffer can be reused by `display-buffer'
indicates that it is no more useful at the time `display-buffer' gets
called.
