Here's a patch to enhance the property name completion list with names from #+PROPERTY keyword lines: at the moment, only property names found in property drawers are used to populate the completion list.
Keith Pinson posted the question on Emacs SE: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/59448/ Please let me know if the patch looks reasonable. If it does, I should probably add a test.
