By "how `read-file-name' reads file name while doing C-c C-a" you mean
when ido-mode is enabled and read-file-name-function is set to something
like ido-read-file-name?
So, this would be a bug (or missing feature maybe) in IDO, right?

Hmm... so maybe I misunderstood and you meant C-c C-a is used in
ido-mode but without redirecting read-file-name to ido-read-file-name?
