1. don't talk about a bug, it's just the behaviour you're setting..

2. I suggest you to use auto complete instead, see here
    http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoComplete

3. of course you can disable the indention I guess and only try to
   complete, but I think indention with tab is also very nice..
