The one of
!               (ido-name (car ido-matches))))
is, indeed.

This is quite difficult, in fact.  Well, I've no from-scratch test
case, but I can trigger bug with the following :
- I have many src/ directories, one in my ~. I enter ``~/dd/src'', the
  ~/dd directory doesn't exist.  Ido proposes « src/^, lib-src/ ».
  I type « src/ », if I add a character, a bug is triggered in
  ido-inhibit.
- I have a src/^, I hit C-e to edit the line.
- Same, I hit M-\s
- Same for ido-delete-file-at-head, ido-push-dir-first, at least.
