That's probably because you have TAB bound to expand-or-complete-prefix.
The examples assume you have it bound to either expand-or-complete or
simply complete-word.

Using expand-or-complete-prefix explicitly neutralizes COMPLETE_IN_WORD,
because it forces completion to ignore everything after the cursor.

Only setopts are reset by "emulate -R", not keybindings or variables.
