Yes, I said as much, explicitly.

I was looking for the function that issued the `invalid-function'
error. It seems to be `eval_sub' (via `Qinvalid_function').
So no special help there.
So far, my best guess is still that in
(completion-try-completion name comps nil (length name) md)
the list COMPS is for some reason being treated as a function (the
second argument can of course be either).
And I'm still wild-guessing that this somehow has to do with
the caching of the list of completions in variable
`completion-all-sorted-completions'.
Maybe `completion--nth-completion' (called by
`completion-try-completion') for some reason finds
(completion-metadata-get metadata 'completion--unquote-requote) to be
non-nil, and so calls its TABLE argument, trying to requote?
Not easy to debug this. I do not see the problem regularly.
