Sorry, it isn't ignored. But rather, erc-pcompletions-at-point always
return non-nil, even when it does not complete anything, so that my
customization

  (setq erc-complete-functions '(erc-pcompletions-at-point
  my-dabbrev-expand))

does not work as expected. (the intent is to have dabbrev take over if
I'm not completing a nick)
