In GNU Emacs 19.25.3 of Sun Aug 14 1994 on gza-client1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3)

If you run M-x gdb, type part of the program name in the minibuffer,
hit tab to get a completion menu, and click the second mouse button on
the completion you want, Emacs beeps and says "[no match]" in the
minibuffer.

The problem here appears to be that the choose-completion-string calls
minibuffer-complete-and-exit if the completion is being done in the
minibuffer.  I've looked at the relevant code, but I don't feel that
I've grokked it enough to attempt to fix it myself.
