These are removed so that if you go into the *Completions* buffer
(with PgUp or M-v) and press RET on an inactive entry, you just get a
"No completion here" message; choose-completion checks for a
mouse-face property around point.  Since this is not obvious, maybe a
comment should be added.

I use a terminal with more than 16 colours, so didn't notice this.

I thought it more natural to deal with the inactive entries,
especially since the mouse-face can be removed at the same time.
