Since Emacs-23, pcomplete-completions is defined to return
a completion-table.  A completion-table can be a list, an alist, an
obarray, a hash-table, or a function.  It is meant to be passed to
`all-completions' or `try-completion'.

I.e. if you do (all-completions "" (pcomplete-completions)) you'll get
your list of directories again.
