I don't have a solution for the problem, but I noticed that both your
functions are trying to remove % from COMP_WORDBREAKS which I don't
think is necessary, % is not included in it by default.  Maybe try to
add % to it instead and see if that leads to something useful?

$ bash --norc
$ echo "$COMP_WORDBREAKS"
