What you see is the behavior as it was in Emacs 20 and maybe even
earlier.  The code in AUCTeX looks very similar to the code which was
used for the completion of Lisp symbols back in those days.

I've now added a few things in CVS to make the behavior more like in
recent Emacsen, i.e. the window with the completions will disappear once
a completion was successful.  It does not disappear when mouse-2 is
clicked but the buffer stays now instead of being buried.
