>      '((buffer (styles substring)) (file (styles substring))))"
> 2. Type `C-x C-f /tmp/test/tes TAB'
> => The minibuffer displays this, with point (^) after `s' in `testing':
> Find file: /tmp/test/testing
>                         ^

If those changes caused this issue, then I think there was already a
bug in the substring completion style, which was just exposed by those
changes.

CC'ing Stefan in the hope that he could show us the light.
