Was this reported to the Helm and Ivi developers?  If so, did they
conclude that the problem was in Emacs core and not in the respective
packages?  It could be, for example, that these packages rely on some
internal implementation details which were now changed; in that case,
the packages should modify their code to unbreak themselves.

If you didn't yet report this to the developers of Helm and Ivy,
please do so, and let's wait for their conclusions.

Thanks.
