Those are mistakes--these 2 paragraphs:
If you type @key{TAB} again immediately, it cannot determine the
next character; it could be @samp{-}, @samp{a}, or @samp{c}. So it
does not add any characters; instead, @key{TAB} displays a list of all
possible completions in another window.
Next, type @kbd{-f}. The minibuffer now contains @samp{auto-f}, and
the only command name that starts with this is @code{auto-fill-mode}.
If you now type @key{TAB}, completion fills in the rest of the
argument @samp{auto-fill-mode} into the minibuffer.
should use @kbd{@key{TAB}} where they say "when you type". Feel free
to fix those blunders as part of the patch.

LGTM, thanks.
