That's a bug: can you get it to happen with the new completion system (I
tried briefly and failed)? I presume there's a gap in the suffix-fixing
logic for completion.

That's not a bug. As Mikael suggested, you need to use something that's
smart about syntax; that's not the job of insert-last-word, which only
knows about the division into editing words.
