It appears to be this line in `completion--insert-horizontal` which is
causing all the trouble. When I comment that out, I get the output
I'm expecting. Looking at the difference between
`completion--insert-horizontal` and `completion--insert-vertical`,
that check happens after the check for `group-fun`. Maybe
`completion--insert-horizontal` should be restructured similarly?
