Got it.  Thx.  Yes, same thing with Icomplete+: key <left> is echoed.

Personally, this (rare, I would guess) minor nuisance is outweighed
by the positive help provided by showing keys for sole-match commands.

As a different user, you might feel differently about the relative
value.

The important thing is that if you restore this fine feature then
you simply give individual _users_ the choice: there was already a
user option for whether to show key bindings,
`icomplete-show-key-bindings'.  Restoring that option is of course
part of fixing the regression.
