AFAIU, you can just remove the
`minibuffer-local-filename-must-match-map' and will still get what you
want for file completion.  There were two different maps for file
completion existing, but now, seemingly
`minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map' is always used (and combined
with either `minibuffer-local-completion-map' or
`minibuffer-local-must-match-map').
