Ignore that last part, sorry.  I just realized that when you wrote
"_prefix completion simply doesn't work" you did not mean that
completion failed, you just mean that it did something you didn't want
it to, and that "something" is probably exactly what I described it
doing.

This documentation is in fact correct: "One gotcha with the _prefix
completer: you have to make sure the option COMPLETE_IN_WORD is set."
