I see.  FWIW, I show the key in icomplete+.el still, and I have
never see it try to show a key for buffer-name completion (or any
other kind of completion besides command completion).

Could you give me a recipe that might show the problem?  Was there
perhaps an Emacs bug filed about that?  I'd be curious, so I can see
what happens with icomplete+.el in this regard.
