Thanks everybody for the suggestions.
I ended up using that tip of setting very long inter-digit long and short timers to force having to terminate the number with a #. I figured this was a small inconvenience to ensure I didn't get any more unexpected foreign call charges to obscure countries.
I chose very large numbers:
L:9999,S:9999,
as I though that would make their use a bit more obvious.
In my search for an answer I also found out about the little documented P (pause) syntax for dial plans. It's mentioned near the end of that Cisco knowledge base article.
I won't post my full dial plan (it's now about 470 characters long), an entry like:
|<:00998888>[2-9]xxxxxP3|
still allows my local (6 digit) numbers to auto complete if no new digits are dialled for 3 seconds even with the very large short inter-digit timer setting. (I've substituted 998888 in place of my actual country and city code).
