If the user types in "XY" and hits return without watching the screen then the
user expects "XY" to go into the spreadsheet, and not "XYZABD" or whatever else
 is predicted by Calc. 
The deal is this- the postfix supplied by autocomplete is only a prediction. It
should not go into the spreadsheet unless the user acknowledges it through some
sort of keyboard input. Typically it is accepted by the user moving the cursor
to the EOL.
If autoinput as used in Calc is different from autocomplete as it is
implemented in almost all other application, you should at least leave it
unselected as the default state. That way people can turn it on if they want it
and not end up having wrong data in their spreadsheet. Wrong data in
spreadsheets can do a lot more damage than an aggressive spellchecker putting
junk words into your document.

If it still doesn't make sense I'd be glad to close this off and repoen it as
an enhancement. But I do think it is a flawed User interface design.
