Which is why the ELisp manual says:
The argument INITIAL is mostly deprecated; we recommend using a
non-‘nil’ value only in conjunction with specifying a cons cell for
HISTORY. *Note Initial Input::. For default input, use DEFAULT
instead.
In any case, the fact that you see "boxplus" as the first suggestion
of the "future history" is because you both added it to COLLECTION and
set INITIAL to it. So showing it as the first suggestion is exactly
what completing-read should do in this case.
This is not a bug, and so I'm closing it.
