’s M-/ SPC M-/’ doesn’t do a normal completion, it does this (from
the manual):
After you have expanded a dynamic abbrev, you can copy additional
words that follow the expansion in its original context. Simply type
<SPC> M-/ for each additional word you want to copy. The spacing and
punctuation between words is copied along with the words.
I suppose that subsequent M-/’s are undocumented, but the current
behaviour is, IMO, definitely confusing as it seems to search other
buffers for completions even though there are valid completions in the
current buffer.
