For find-file, this amounts to warning the user that she's about to opena non-existing file, which may be exactly what she wants to do, but may alsobe just the result of a typo (in my case, in 90% of the cases, it's a TAB expansion that completed to "foo." instead of one of foo.c or foo.h, in 9% of the cases it's a typo and in the 1% percent it's really what I want to do).
I see. This is indeed an improvement on usability. If the input can be completed more, perhaps we should not only confirm the user about it is non-matching, but tell the user it can be completed (although may not be unique) as well.
