OK then, pretend I said:

I'm also not sure what consequences simply removing this field property
will have.

However, I noticed that your patch leaves the help-echo and mouse-face
properties missing on the completed text, which is a little unaesthetic.
An alternative solution that avoids this issue would be if callers of
completion could optionally request that it insert-and-inherit the
completed text rather than just insert it. I could imagine that other
callers of completion might need such a feature. But I have no idea if
this is feasible.
