I believe I reported long ago (in the Emacs 24 cycle, IIRC) that I
occasionally get this error.  This is still the case.  The value it
complains about not being a function is a list of completions (strings),
which each have text property `face' with values
`completions-common-part' and `(completions-first-difference)' (a list).

I haven't been able to see where in the code this error could occur.  I
have noticed it being raised with my setup (icomplete+.el).  Dunno
whether it occurs also in emacs -Q.

FWIW, my code does not even reference `icomplete-post-command-hook'
explicitly, and it does not use those particular faces explicitly.

I also have not been able to find the code that issues that error
message.  Perhaps it is in some C code - the latest C code I have is for
Emacs 24.3.

A wild guess about this is that the list of completions is the cached
value in variable `completion-all-sorted-completions'.  And perhaps in
code like this:

(completion-try-completion name comps nil (length name) md)

Maybe COMPS here (which is the value of
`completion-all-sorted-completions') is somehow expected to be a
function?  Does this ring a bell for anyone?  Just poking in the dark.
Dunno how to debug this better.  The error message does not stop
execution, being on `post-command-hook'.  It just flashes ephemerally
and then I can find it in `*Messages*'.

And, again, it seems that this happens just once in a while.

If this info does not help at all, feel free to close the bug.  Or leave
it open, for future reference.  It has been there for a while now.
