Fabián, this approach shares a problem with my first
set-marker-insertion-type attempt in that it won't preserve
he-string-beg.

The problem manifests itself when you try something like:

> blah blah blah p<hippie-expand here>

It results in:

> p<hippie-expand completion here>

So the previous part of the line gets lost.

I don't think it's possible to fix that by just setting the marker or
insert operation types.
