I re-installed OpenOffice.org and realized LibreOffice behaved the same way.
When I used the OpenOffice.org Help system, it quickly located the relevant
function to disable the problematic behaviour. Specifically, the option was
under Tools->Cell Contents->AutoInput. This worked in LibreOffice exactly the
same way and did result in the word completion being disabled. As a note, I did
search the online LibreOffice help using "word completion" and several other
things I thought of and no hints were provided in how to turn this off in Calc.
So, I'm not sure if this is a user interface issue (because the same logical
functionality is managed in different ways depending on whether Writer or Calc
is used), or a documentation issue, but I do believe it remains a usability
issue. As an example, there is a bug report from OpenSUSE that was the only
reference I found to turning off word completion in Calc (all other references
were for Writer), and nobody in that thread seems to have known about the
"AutoInput" control:

As a final comment, the fact that it is an on/off flag in the actual menus
seems a little bit of a UI overkill, implying that people are going to want to
switch back and forth between word completion and not often (vs. putting it in
the Tools->Options... menu). In general, I will either have it on for a
document or off, but it's possible it should be a "quick access" feature if
others use it often enough.
