It seems like indeed M-x behavior has changed. So my fears were not
unfounded, sadly. This is an incompatible behavior change, and it
should IMO be OFF by default. Worse, NEWS doesn't call out this
behavior of M-x completion, and neither does the manual, at least not
clearly enough (the reference to read-extended-command-predicate is
too vague and doesn't mention completion).
I'm very uneasy about this change.
