That's on purpose: C-x b is about moving to another buffer, so it
explicitly excludes the current buffer.
TAB excludes the current buffer from completion, so that you can
more often get a useful completion result.
However, listing the available completions is a different issue.
Omitting the current buffer there is not beneficial; it only gives
the user less useful information. There, the current buffer
should be included.
Basically, try-complete should exclude the current buffer
but all-completions should include it.
