I had tried that yesterday already.  It didn't work for me at all - I
got "buffer is read-only" error messages.

However, I regularly use slime-complete-symbol* as my completion
function (but with other pop-up settings) and my text never got
garbled.  And I liked the behaviour where point was directly after the
shortest unambiguous prefix.
