Yes, it does. Readline completion replaces the word on which completion
is attempted with the longest common prefix of the matches. The
show-all-if-ambiguous option doesn't change that behavior; it just causes
the possible completions to be listed instead of ringing the bell.
I will take a look and see what can be done, but this behavior is fairly
basic.
