I do not see why it wouldn't.  Did you account for the fact that
get_keysequence() returns a string and not an integer?

Here you would use:

    { case "\t": loop over words in completions array one by one }

 (or "\x09" or "\011")

Regarding the difference between _getkey and getkey, the following
from changes.txt may help:

Changes since B0.99-16 [...]
188. src/misc.c: Made changes to the getkey and ungetkey intrinsic
     functions so that they will work with wide-characters when in
     unicode mode.  The old byte-based behavior is still available via
     the _getkey and _ungetkey functions.  This change was required to
     make isearch unicode-aware.

Thanks,
