But your code is breaking Auto Complete. Regardless of your or my opinions
on the Safety/Good Idea of using Auto Complete, it isn't working because
of code that was added to Imp's login.inc between versions 3.2.1 and 4.1.2
of Imp. (Actually, we know from the changelogs when you added that code
in...but there wasn't much information on why it's there or what it does)


Anyway, you say that we can "comment out the code at our own risk" 
But you don't offer what I consider to be an adequate solution, but
instead offer reasons why we shouldn't want that functionality in the
first  place (which is kind of an admission that it's broken, IMO, a bug)
--- If I have users that want that functionality, and I, as system admin,
am not turning it off, then shouldn't they have it if they want?  

Again, regardless of the politics of Auto Complete, isn't the fact that
the addition to your code breaks browser functionality a bug? And the
removal of said piece of code makes it work again.  How is that not a bug?
 

If the code is necessary for certain other functionality, as you say in
point 1, then maybe you should fix the broken code so people can make
their own decisions about the rest.
