The reason I removed it is that you added it concerning the completion
issue[*], but this was just a consequence of the parsing error, thus
an invalid bug. So, I retitled the bug to the original issue (which
you confirmed) to see if one could get a better behavior, and as a
consequence, cleaned up the tags.

[*] BTW, the completion issue was just an example. Other things broke.
That's why I assumed that things could be related to these errors.
