Strange.  I have no idea why you see only 2 candidates.  I see all 4
in both the master and emacs-24 branch.

Don't know.  Looks like some feature of completion.

That's one of the 2 "HOME" entries.  They belong to different indices,
so they are identical (and collapsed by completion into a single
completion candidate, I presume).
