No, you get the tab when there is *no* non-blank character to the left:

item(tt(insert-tab))(
If this has one of the `true' values, the completion system will
insert a TAB character (assuming it was used to start completion) instead
of performing completion when there is no non-blank character to the left
of the cursor.  If set to `false', completion will be done even there.

The default value of this style is `true' unless when completing
inside the tt(vared) builtin command, where it defaults to `false'.
