[Bug]: With some aliases, completion shows available options but does not complete the command line

### Expected behavior

Given `x` is an alias
`$ x[TAB][TAB]`
shows available completions (say `alpha` and `beta`).
`$ x al[TAB]`
completes to
`$ x alpha`


### Current behavior

For some alias, available completions are shown with double-tab, but actual completion does not take place.
See the "Steps to reproduce" for a specific case.

### Possible solution

Sorry, no idea...

### Context

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

With this alias:
`alias kubectx='kubectl config use-context'`
and given a few contexts in kubectl configuration (in my case: `k3s`, `k3s-test` and `minikube`)
When the command line is
```
$ kubectx
```
by pressing tab twice I get:
```
$ kubectx 
k3s       k3s-test  minikube
```
Then with this command line:
```
$ kubectx mi
```
pressing tab accomplishes nothing.
If I use the original command in place of the alias
```
$ kubectx=kubectl config use-context mi
```
pressing tab completes to
```
$ kubectx='kubectl config use-context minikube
```

### Notes

I do not have a bare idea if that's a bug, a bash-it bug, a feature or what else. But it's annoying...
