Single examples of "text at point" don't help me understand why this
happens *repeatedly*. If you could describe where those chunks of text
come from and why you end up using them in M-x, maybe that would help.

It's bad to have a default in the prompt which is almost always not the
one you want. People will soon send bug reports about "M-x chooses dumb
defaults".

In the pretest code, we've solved this problem by making M-n bring up
the "file at point" if you have ffap loaded (IIUC). This should work
with all file-reading commands, contrary to FFAP itself which only
works for the commands it redefined.
So after C-x i, try M-n.
