Nothing is removed. To be explicit, when I start with -Q and type 'C-x
d', the minibuffer displays this:
Dired (directory): ~/
with point after '/'. When I now type '/', the face of '~/' changes to
shadow, and when I then type '~', the face of the second '/' also
changes to shadow. When I now type TAB, the minibuffer looks like this:
Dired (directory): ~//~
with '~//' in shadow face, and a *Completions* buffer pops up and shows
the directory names of all members of (system-users). When I now type
's TAB', the face of the second '/' changes from shadow to default
(black), '[No match]' appears after the cursor and the *Completions*
buffer disappears. I.e., the minibuffer looks like this on hitting TAB:
Dired (directory): ~//~s█[No match]
with '~/' in shadow face and '/~s' in default face, and after a couple
of seconds, '[No match]' disappears, leaving the rest.
