Not exactly. There have been several issues discussed in this report,
and it's really a problem that the user can't easily input something
that completing-read would allow.
A new bug report has arrived since:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=39407 It is now
erroneously marked as fixed because it has been merged with this one. We
should undo that.
The proposed workaround (using M-j) is itself problematic since it
allows you to input whatever even when a match is required. So there are
bug here.

Not exactly. At least, icomplete-mode seems to work okay in both of
these respects (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Yes, we can do that. I'll make the new variable private, so we can rid
of it quickly on master.
