Git completion not using ls-remote to auto-complete during push

I do the following:
$ git push origin :topic

If I stop halfway through typing 'topic' and hit TAB, auto-completion does not work if I do not have a local branch by that name (sometimes I delete my local branch first, then I push to delete it remotely). I thought that git completion code was supposed to use ls-remote to auto complete refs used in push operations. Is this supposed to work?

I'm using Git 2.4.3. Tested on both MSYS2 in Windows and Linux Mint. Same behavior in both. I am using the latest git completion code from the master branch in the git repo.
