Don't beat yourself over it, it's not an easy or pleasent thing to understand.

with this tentative patch, Icomplete seems to honour

Yes I think that's the idea. But do you think that's good or bad?

This seems to compose well with completions-group AFAICT (see e.g. C-x 8
RET ROMAN).

 This is good, right?
