This changed the behavior of RET from `minibuffer-complete-and-exit' to
`exit-minibuffer'. Was that intention? What I noticed is the following.

[before]
	emacs -Q
        M-x icomplete-mode
        C-xd /usr
        C-xk u		;; shows "Kill buffer (default usr): u(sr)"
        RET
        killed "usr" buffer

[after]
	emacs -Q
        M-x icomplete-mode
        C-xd /usr
        C-xk u		;; shows "Kill buffer (default usr): u(sr)"
        RET
        No buffer named u

Thanks.
