This is because widget-button-click-moves-point is set to t for
customize buffers, and also because there is no mechanism implemented
for widgets to "pass focus" to others. If it is a desired feature, I
can try to come up with something.

This is because the completion function used for string widgets is
ispell-complete-word and that command will look back from point until it
finds a word to complete.
I can't think of another way of fixing this other than peeking what will
ispell-complete-word try to complete, so I attach a patch that does
that.

I think so.
