Yes, I didn't realize that _BaseComplete and _MipmapComplete were not
checking the state at all. Thanks for pointing it.

Yes, that is what I wanted, to return false if the texture is incomplete.

Ok, then if I understand correctly, the solution is not about replacing
the level checks for _mesa_is_texture_complete, but keeping current
checks, and add a _mesa_is_texture_complete check. Just checked and
everything seems to work fine (except that now the behaviour is more
strict, see below). I will send a patch in short.

Well, yes in general the spec is being perhaps too strict. But I assume
that if we want to follow the spec, we don't have any other option.

FWIW, when testing the patch I mentioned before, some of the piglit
tests start to fail. The reason is that with that patch everything is
more strict, so the piglit tests need to set the filtering to NEAREST in
order to not fail. I will send a piglit patch soon too.
