FWIW:

This has been reported multiple times.  I
reported it years ago.  It happened now &
then (I don't use icomplete anymore, so I
haven't tracked it).  I tried to track it
down but never succeeded.  Discussed this
with Stefan a few times.

I use MS Windows, so if what I saw is the
same as what's been reported by others a
few times since then, I doubt that it is
Darwin-specific.

`icomplete-exhibit' was where this happened.
As I say, this is longstanding, and no doubt
Icomplete has undergone multiple changes since
I first reported this.  The fact that the same,
or seemingly the same, thing is still happening
suggests that whatever changes have been made
to Icomplete haven't affected this.
