Well, I use tab to do that all the time. Interestingly, it is bound  
to minibuffer-complete, as opposed to SPC, which is bound to  
minibuffer-complete-word.
Don't know if that makes a difference for file names.

Either way, I guess it is reasonable to give priority to the native  
character, i.e. space. If someone wants to map SPC to whatever, they  
can to that by adding the key to the keymap - right?
