The bug is filed for Emacs 24.5, the latest Emacs release.
If the bug has been fixed since then, great.

I cannot use any Emacs 25 pretest that I've found - at all.
It simply crashes almost immediately.  And no, I don't have
the time to dig into why.

Which is clearly why you don't need substring completion - there
are no single curly quotes around the index entry, in your pretest.
There are such quotes around the entry in the release.

You're not sure what and why?  Try using the latest release, which
the bug pertains to:

In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
 of 2015-04-11 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
 `configure --prefix=3D3D/c/usr --host=3D3Di686-pc-mingw32'

Here is what is in the index of the release:

* help-command:                          Help Functions.      (line  43)
* help-echo (overlay property):          Overlay Properties.  (line 114)
* help-echo (text property):             Special Properties.  (line  83)
* ‘help-echo’ event:                     Misc Events.         (line  55)
* help-echo, customization keyword:      Type Keywords.       (line  98)
* help-event-list:                       Help Functions.      (line  69)

(I can send a screenshot if this is not clear enough as is.)
