Yes, the bug should be addressed properly. The behavior should
be controlled by users - at least by option and preferably also
on the fly, during completion (by a toggle or other means).
At a minimum, whatever means are currently provided to give users
some control over this, however arcane, rudimentary, or hackish,
should be well documented.
(And yes, Icicles buffer-name completion has already been described
in this bug thread.)
