Thanks, I can reproduce this.

The call to minibuffer-complete in ivy-partial-or-done seems to behave
differently between Emacs versions 29 and 30; I'll have to take a closer
look soon.

Sadly this isn't the only (nor even the most severe) filename completion
bug in Ivy with Emacs 30+.  Stay tuned.

Feel free to also CC me as co-maintainer in the future.
I don't think Oleh has had much time to dedicate to Ivy lately.

Thanks,
