`M-x M-p RET' works for me.

That recalls the last command, which was make-directory.  But I
wanted to recall the last directory, which was /foo/bar.


I know, but before you recall the directory argument, you recalled the command

because you wanted to execute it again.  My point was just that you didn't have
to type `M-x make-directory RET' again.

The other alternative is to recall the command and its argument with `C-x M-:',

then edit the argument.


(I think that ido isn't active after M-x anyway, that's just regular
completion.)

I don't understand what completion or ido have to do with recalling a previous
command or argument.
