To clarify some of what I said last -

Re-reading that, it sounds a bit misleading ("always").  It is of course also
about which window/frame is selected (and a user can in fact change the input
focus to *Completions*, via a minibuffer keymap key).

I just meant that in this situation *Completions* should have the focus, and it
does not.

That was all I was trying to say above wrt "selection".  What counts here is
that *Completions* is getting the input focus and it should not be getting it.
