No. Just verified this. :)

I created a vcf file containing 17576 contacts (26^3, aaa..zzz) and
imported it. Actually, got bored waiting and canceled the import at 5300
contacts. So I have an address book with 5300 addresses, that just works
fine with auto-completion.


Note: The composer only shows contacts for auto-completion, if they
actually happen to have an email address set. Please check your imported
contacts -- do they have an email address set, if you open 'em in the
contact editor?

Another one: Auto-completion by default triggers after at least 3 chars.
