It seems to me that the issue here is that icomplete expects one to accept completions via C-j (`minibuffer-force-complete-and-exit`) rather than RET (which is bound to `minibuffer-exit`). i myself find this behaviour counterintuitive, and would prefer that RET also be bound to `minibuffer-force-complete-and-exit`, since i would still be able to exit the minibuffer via C-g. i wonder if there are people relying on RET being bound to `minibuffer-exit`?
