This fix looks right.

I suppose it's getting confused with the different possible punctuation
characters after Abc, but since it won't complete further, what it's doing
must be wrong --- it should presumably stop at that point or use menu
completion.  Unfortunately this won't get fixed until Sven reappears, and
since 3.1.6 is going to appear in the next few days, I've just stuck a
message in Etc/BUGS.
