It would be nice if version 3.3 or 3.2.6 were released, even if they would be 
the same as 3.2.91.

The version 3.2.91 although that it has many really good improvements has a 
version number that may cause certain doubts with package maintainers.

The fact that it has a number which indicates 'alpha' or 'testing' is not to 
make people feel at ease with that version.

Anyway, I tested with 

  ./configure --without-readline

and then I get the behavior that you describe: Tab just is inserting a tab, not 
completing keywords.

You can check with : 

# grep HAVE_READLINE config.h
/* #undef HAVE_READLINE */

in your config.h you either have HAVE_READLINE 1 if it discovers you have 
readline or the above #undef.

The solution would be to install GNU readline before building your own version 
of GNU smalltalk.
