Good catch, it makes a lot of sense.

It feels like we could update the RegExp to match the last occurrence (rather than using slice), but I'm afraid it would be harder to follow for those who need to google it like me:
https://frightanic.com/software-development/regex-match-last-occurrence/

.match( new RegExp( `${ safeTrigger }([\u0000-\uFFFF]*)$` ) );
const query = match && match[ 1 ];

setAutocompleter( completer );
