Since I've already typed a slash (the minibuffer shows ~/local/), I expect
the current directory to be ~/local/, not ~/.

What's even more confusing is that Emacs highlights the next caracter to
type in the completion buffer, and in your case, the highlighted character
is *not* the one to type.

My advice would be to take the trailing slash into account. For example,
make "/" equivalent to what is currently "/ RET".
