Doesn't work for me in Bash 4.3.46 I'm afraid. Shaun J. Goff's answer does work.

"Ending" the function definition string is on purpose; the point is to include arguments from the outer function into the COMP_WORDS array. If we use make-completion-wrapper _apt_get _apt_get_install apt-get install as an example, after shift 2, $@ contains apt-get install. The function definition includes apt-get install (the two literal words) when assigning COMP_WORDS.
