If you were expecting TAB to complete #inclu to #include, it is not a
bug.

Completion does not work that way.  In Emacs, "completion" refers to
the ability to use TAB to select completions in response to a prompt
in the minibuffer.

There is an abbreviation facility which allows you to define your own
abbreviations for use in an ordinary buffer.  Unfortunately AFAIK
there is no library of common abbreviations for different modes.

If you already have a file containing #include somewhere in XEmacs,
including in some other buffer, you can use the dynamic abbreviation
facility (M-/) which will search for expansions of "#inclu" and expand
that (actually, under normal circumstances it will ignore the "#" as a
word boundary, and expand "inclu").
