My crystal ball told me it could be a mis-applied completion predicate
(depending on the kind of completion-table (list of strings, alist,
obarray, hashtable), the predicate is either passed a string,
a cons-cell, or even two arguments), but I didn't notice any obvious
risky uses of the predicate in icomplete, so the problem might be
elsewhere (and just happens to show up in icomplete because icomplete
calls completion more often).
