That is confusing, yes, but until you type RET, you don't switch directory. Consdier this: if you just type ~/cal/ rather than ~/local/ you will see the same possible completions, but it is now clear that you are not yet switched into local/.

For example, > make "/" equivalent to what is currently "/ RET". Ido does that already if there are no other completions, see ido-enter-single-matching-directory. -- Kim F.
