It's not a bug; you are binding a key to something that doesn't have a
function definition.

Use set-mark-command, ie

 (define-key global-map "\M- " 'set-mark-command)

which is the default binding of C-@.

This is because completion correctly fills in the rest of the command name,
which is actually set-mark-command.

Just a minor misunderstanding.  Emacs is forgiving.
