Followed your report and confirmed it.  Notice that the problem only
happens because the file names share a common prefix: "icomplete.el"

Maybe the title (and the severity) of this bug should be changed to
reflect that.  Do you know how to do that, Lars?

This sentence indeed describes it.  There code is fido-mode to "bubble"
up the default to the first result, but it isn't working for some
reason.  I'd say the problem lies somewhere in
icomplete--sorted-completions.
