I'm no expert, but I think this is due to the fact that running M-x
partial-completion-mode just turns partial-completion-mode on in the
buffer in which you run in. Try reversing the order of steps 2 and 3.

I myself have been bitten by thiss. It is annoying. I wish there were
a global-partial-completion-mode, much as there is a
global-reveal-mode or global-hl-line-mode.
