No idea. It works for me.
Please use `M-x icicle-send-bug-report', providing a step-by-step recipe to
reproduce the problem, starting with "emacs -Q" (to inhibit loading init
files). Let me know what Emacs version you use, and please use the latest
Icicles files.

I'm afraid that the key used for key completion is hard-coded to `S-TAB', so
far. I'll think about making that easier to change. For now, you can change
it in the code (file icicle-mode.el):
(defun icicle-bind-S-TAB-in-keymaps-from (map)
"Bind `S-TAB' to `icicle-complete-keys' in keymaps accessible from MAP."
(dolist (key+map (accessible-keymaps map))
(let ((map (cdr key+map)))
(when (and (keymapp map) ; Try to exclude menu maps.
(not (stringp (car-safe (last map)))))
(unless (lookup-key map [S-tab])
(condition-case nil
(define-key map [S-tab] 'icicle-complete-keys)
(error nil)))
(unless (lookup-key map [S-iso-lefttab])
(condition-case nil
(define-key map [S-iso-lefttab] 'icicle-complete-keys)
(error nil)))))))
Change [S-tab] to [(control ?i)] - that's TAB. You can either leave the rest
as is or remove the last `unless' sexp - it is needed only because some
keyboards use a different Shift TAB key.
