Indeed, it seems that the pcomplete completion UI code was somehow
broken when its innards were separated to provide
pcomplete-completion-at-point.
The right fix moving forward (which I've been meaning to do but haven't
found time for yet) is to change Eshell to not use the `pcomplete'
command any more, but to use `completion-at-point' instead and to
finally obsolete the `pcomplete' command.
