In shell, C-p and C-n move through the history, not through completions.
Here's is an excerpt from the bash man page:

  previous-history (C-p)
    Fetch the previous command from the history list, moving back in the list.

  next-history (C-n)
    Fetch the next command from the history list, moving forward in the list.

Maybe icomplete could be more DWIM, and when completions are displayed,
then use [up] and [down] keys to move through completions, otherwise
move through the history when the minibuffer contents is empty.
