This is the way Rgui (which I guess you mean as Rterm does not use colours) was intended to work, so it is not a 'mistake'.
Rather than 'red' and 'blue', Rgui has user-selectable separate colours for user input (default DarkRed) and for R output (default NavyBlue). When you do what I believe you did (at least if 'anything' is not TAB again) you are accepting a completion, which is R output and hence is in the 'R output' colour.
What I understand you were expecting was that completions be treated as user input. That is I think fairly simple to do, and I've made the change in R-devel (r48038). Please try that (snapshots will be available tomorrow UK time) and let us know if you find the behaviour more intuitive.
