My guess is the bug only happens with specific project or perhaps role settings.
Our projects are public and the members all have the same role. There is a role in our Redmine called Non Member and almost all permissions are checked for that role. I don't see an option for the non-member role of "Add as Watcher" I do see "Add watchers" which is checked.
If the non-member opens the issues themselves they can click on the "Watch" link with no issue. However, the auto-complete add watcher function does not display non-member.
We are also using "Watchers Textinput plugin" but I recall disabling that and I also had the issue.
Other people have reported this issue as well so we are not alone... (see #5159)
