Hm...  looking at the command in question, it does have completion over
manual names:

commit 010db6da6527d16736fd3c2b607058dd35a70c9a

    * info.el (info-display-manual): Add completion.
    
And this was added before 24.3 was released, so it should also have it.
So is this talking about some other form of completion, or was the bug
report about an earlier Emacs release?
