Actually, the problem was visible even with the standard completion,
not only with icomplete-mode.

I think I fixed it.  Please try again, and if there are still
problems, please reopen the bug.

Version: 24.0.50

Doing

   emacs -Q -f icomplete-mode
   C-h v xa

- with the emacs-23 branch:

  Describe variable: xa<(>rgs-program)  [Matched]

- with the trunk:

  Describe variable: xa(rgs-program)  [Matched]<>

where <> marks the cursor position. Bisection seems to indicate the
bug appears in revid:[email-masked]
(Initial support for bidirectional editing).
