Thanks for the suggestion.  Sadly this seems to make things worse:

* emacs -Q (in ~)
* Eval your advice. 
* M-x make-directory RET /tmp/test RET
* M-x rgrep RET [...] /tmp/te RET
* Result: No confirmation, the search runs in "~" (!)

I tried read-directory-name with all variations of MUSTMATCH, and I
believe none of them helps me here.  I guess I want an additional mode,
like 'confirm-automatic-completion, which handles TAB as before, but
with RET it would require confirmation before changing the result.
