Good point. As I said in my very first email in this thread, the setup I
have is a little old and somewhat beaten up. 

I just checked again, and indeed it was commented out. My only (weak) excuse
is that I probably misread the documentation statement for bbdb-initialize
(which is copied into README.Debian, and was hence my starting point)

   vm         Initialize BBDB support for the VM mail reader.
              NOTE: For the VM insinuation to work properly, you must
              either call `bbdb-initialize' with the `vm' symbol from
              within your VM initialization file (\"~/.vm\") or you
              must call `bbdb-insinuate-vm' manually from within your
              VM initialization file.

I just changed the code in ~/.vm to actually use both:

(bbdb-insinuate-vm)
(bbdb-initialize "vm")

and this now works fine  ---  M-tab completes as expected.  So should the
help be changed to 

   vm         Initialize BBDB support for the VM mail reader.
              NOTE: For the VM insinuation to work properly, you must
              call `bbdb-insinuate-vm' as well as `bbdb-initialize'
              with the `vm' symbol from within your VM initialization 
              file (\"~/.vm\").

Thanks a bunch for your help.

Regards,  Dirk
