Even if the patch doesn't directly update the file, it should be updated first.
FYI, I just took a look at the patch and it does touch
tab-complete.inc - it certainly should *not* do that, as
tab-complete.inc is generated with tabcomplete.pl from the upstream
tab-complete.c. Any changes made to it are likely to be lost the next
time it's updated. If that file must be changed, then it should be
done by tab-complete.pl, though frankly it would be better to push the
changes into psql first.

If it updates cleanly, I don't mind.
