Thanks for the pointer, that's a great package! Its completions don't use a common 'pcomplete-here' function (and don't rely on 'pcomplete-args' and other global variables). Instead the own "pcmpl-args" code base (and it is big!) is used. So (analogously to 'pcomplete/sudo') the following function may be used to complete "pre-inst-env" properly:
pcomplete-pre-inst-env.el
