Say, I have bbdb-completion-list bound to '(lf-name) so that bbdb-complete-mail uses the last name for completion. Now if there are two records for Joe Andersen and Dave Anderson and I type "and", bbdb-complete-mail and also bbdb-completing-read-mails will complete this to "anders" which is the common part of Andersen and Anderson. (That's called partial completion. Emacs does it all the time.) But a meaningful return value for bbdb-completing-read-mails would only be one or multiple comma-separated valid email addresses. In general, that's why completing-read has an optional arg REQUIRE-MATCH. If that's non-nil you must enter a valid completion. Partially completed values are not valid as return values. But bbdb-completing-read-mails does not use something like REQUIRE-MATCH.
