I can indeed fix my code, but it then becomes really ugly, much uglier than
what I'm currently using.

Also looking at the existing uses of lazy-completion-table, I see that
bibtex.el relies on the current behavior.

Maybe it's better to leave the code as is.
If I want `arg' to be evaluated early, I can easily replace

     (lazy-completion-table var fun arg)
with
     (lazy-completion-table var `(lambda () (fun ',arg)))

[ which is what I'm currently using. ]
