Sorry, I don't understand... Why partially? After completion, gnus gets the right address. 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.

A bad hack to make it work *somehow* is to use a prompt for bbdb-completing-read-mails that looks like a mail header, for example (bbdb-completing-read-mails Resend-message(s)-to: ) The real problem is: bbdb-completing-read-mails is derived from bbdb-complete-mail which is used in an ordinary buffer instead of a minibuffer, and bbdb-complete-mail can also perform partial completion. Yet I believe in the context of bbdb-completing-read-mails, partial completion doesn't make much sense as a return value for this function. I assume this must have been an old problem, already present in BBDB 2. Right now I am not sure whether / how this can be solved cleanly by defining a suitable wrapper around bbdb-complete-mail. Currently, BBDB 3 uses bbdb-completing-read-mails only for its MH-E interface. But I am not aware of anybody using this interface, which is probably why this problem went unnoticed for so long.
