Something like this? [This causes no regressions in the test suite or by 
manually hacking at it.]

ChangeLog
2013-05-13  Keith Seitz  <keiths@redhat.com>

	* completer.c (location_completer): Pass 'word' to
	make_source_files_completion_list.
	Do not adjust filenames -- add_filename_to_list, called
	from make_source_files_completion_list, will do it.
