I tried with gtk+ 2.8.9 and there I confirm that it works strangely
(assuming you mean gtk.EntryCompletion). 

Typing some prefix into the entry causes 
- the listbox to pop up
- the first item to be selected <- this one drives me nuts, can't it
stop getting in my way?

Then press down arrow and press tab, indeed, it takes the wrong one...

I'd file a bug with gtk...

cheers,
