Currently, the completion-list-mode uses the `mouse-face' text-property
to determine what is a completion item and what i something else (blank
space, annotation, you name it).  So as it stands, any mouse-face you'd
add to an annotation would confuse completion-list-mode into thinking it
is a completion item.

Maybe you could try to use the `category' text-property instead.
