I just tried the same experiment using EPD instead of Anaconda on the same machine. It fails as well, but in a different way. On selecting "Complete Symbol" as above,
1) There's a *long* wait (about 10-15 seconds, on a fast machine with lots of RAM) with Emacs unresponsive to key presses during this period.
2) An *IPython Completions* buffer does eventually pop up, but tells me "There are no possible completions of what you have typed."
Followup:
