Sorry for my confusing description. What I meant is that there is
apparently some magic involved that makes a string manufactured with a
`propertize' form like the one above appear as if it had the button face
(underlined), even though it's not explicitely among its text properties
(maybe the `category' does it? I don't know).
In any case, without my patch the face is overridden to become the usual
annotation italic, so it _does_ suffer from the problem I describe.

Indeed. I don't use the cursor keys, but you're right in that they seem
to include the button-like annotations among their jump targets; as for
`choose-completion', that seems to be bound to RET in the *Completions*
buffer, but as I said and in line with your guess, pressing RET on an
annotation actually invokes the button action as desired, so this
problem doesn't seem to occur.
