I'm amazed.... I've looked at that code at least 10 times
over the last few days --- and I still managed to overlook
this (trusting the code in ange-ftp.el). Thanks!

That's good! I'll see what I can do to make this work.
However, one of the candidates for an improvement could be
file-name-all-completions adding a third PREDICATE arg.
However, I think that's still not feasible for the reasons
