Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that in Emacs 24 there is
no longer a `minibuffer-local-filename-must-match-map' and that keymaps
are composed.  Dunno.
 
I do this:
 
(define-key minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map (kbd "C-c +")
           'icicle-make-directory)
 
I use a help command that essentially puts the output from this for a
given keymap NAME in *Help*:
 
 (substitute-command-keys (concat "\\{" name "}"))
 
For `minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map' (which is still defined
for Emacs 24), I see this:
 
 key             binding
 ---             -------
 
 C-c             Prefix Command
 C-o             1on1-fit-minibuffer-frame
 C-x             Prefix Command
 
Which makes little sense to me.  The keys on prefix keys C-c and C-x are
not listed.  Seems like they should be.
 
But those keys are in fact on the keymap.  This is the value of
`minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map':
 
(keymap
 (24 keymap (97) (109)) ; C-x a, C-x m
 (3 keymap (43))        ; C-+
 (C-backspace)          ; C-backspace
 (15 . 1on1-fit-minibuffer-frame) ; C-o
 (32))
 
What gives?  Is this an Emacs bug in `substitute-command-keys'?

It seems to have something to do with when I evaluate the
`substitute-command-keys' sexp. If I do it on the fly during C-x C-f (via M-:,
with a recursive minibuffer) then I do see the bindings listed.

But C-h v shows that they are there all the time.  I don't understand why
`substitute-command-keys' does not show them all the time.

The above keymap maps [24 97] (aka C-x a) to nil and [24 109] (aka C-x
m) to nil.  So it's no wonder these bindings don't show up in the print
out.  IOW the problem you're seeing probably comes from elsewhere.

My bad, sorry.  I was not paying attention to the fact that the bindings are in
fact nil at that point.

These keys are bound on the fly during a command, and then unbound.  But the C-c
and C-x prefix keys are not unbound (so they show up in
`substitute-command-keys').  I will close the bug.
