FWIW, somebody published a nicely-working icomplete-vertical-mode recently:

https://github.com/oantolin/icomplete-vertical

According to the author, it deals with this particular problem with a 
combination of (setq truncate-lines t) and an enlarge-window call:

The only downside to this mode I could find is that it keeps the 
minibuffer fixed height (the max prospects count plus 1). But it can be 
considered an upside as well, matter of taste.
