I don't know.  Either we can fix them one by one as bug reports are filed, 
or we can fix them in one shot, possibly with a shorter name (say 
"input-from-minibuffer" or "get-from-minibuffer").  I don't see why it 
would be wrong to do that, or what it could break; the macro is as simple 
as possible.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this, but AFAICS 
minibuffer-depth cannot be used to determine whether icomplete (or other 
completion backends) should be activated or not.

If you do M-: C-x C-f, you want completions at minibuffer-depth = 1 and 
not at minibuffer-depth = 0; if you do C-x C-f M-:, you want completions 
at minibuffer-depth 0 and not at minibuffer-depth 1; if you do C-x C-f C-x 
8 RET you want completions at minibuffer-depth 0 and at minibuffer-depth 
1; if you do M-: C-x f you do not want completions at minibuffer-depth 0 
nor at minibuffer-depth 1.

And how would you detect whether a recursive minibuffer expects 
completions or not?
