Thank you.

That (partially) explains what's going on.

Problem is that ido.el only binds icomplete-mode to nil temporarily,
whereas your suggestion permanently disables icomplete-mode.

I have made a change to icomplete.el so that it will notice (and do
nothing) if icomplete-mode is temporarily bound to nil.
