Ah.  This is not the bug.  We may have been subtly miscommunicating.
I am talking about completing the first argument to the command, not
the 'ls' command itself.

So for example:

1. emacs -q
2. (setopt icomplete-in-buffer t)
3. M-x icomplete-mode
4. M-x eshell
5. cd ~/src/emacs/
6. ls l<TAB>

It takes a second <TAB> to have Emacs display leim, lib, lib-src, lisp etc..
