You don't say if you're having any problems with this, but you can remove the autocomplete (invalid) attribute -- Scripty adds that behavior automagically. Otherwise, this looks okay from the calling side.
If your return includes anything besides a bare list (and these strong tags count, I believe) then you might see failure from there. You're returning a UL, but it's being treated as a data store more than a presentational element. I see what you're trying to accomplish here, but you need to add that style using another means. There is a "hook" event that happens after the autocompleter has refreshed its display. Try patching into that to find and replace the search text within the result list with a 'stronged' version of itself.
