This gives a `begin..end` region which presumably includes `@`.
Does (plist-get contact :name) return names that start with `@`?
If not, the completion will never match.

In emacs-lisp-mode, `@` has symbol syntax, so
(bounds-of-thing-at-point 'symbol)
will include `@` in the returned region, whereas in Org mode
`@` seems to have punctuation syntax so the `@` will not be included in
the returned region.

Maybe instead of `bounds-of-thing-at-point` you want to use something
less "magic", like (skip-chars-backward "[:alnum:]@").
