I loaded a version of ido.el from 28 Feb 2011 which is a few days before
the release of 23.3 and still couldn't reproduce this bug. I have 23.4
installed and couldn't reproduce either.

But from reading the code, the behaviour as you described in 23.3 would
be wrong anyway. You didn't specify any default filename in the
interactive form, there is no reason for ido to pick test.el as the
default.

HTH,
Leo
