I think the core of the argument is that the prompt should fit on a single line. The problematic cases with icomplete-vertical only occur when the prompt itself spans multiple lines, but a prompt that spans multiple lines is already a problem, regardless of icomplete-mode, because there are setups where the minibuffer is only made of one line and is not allowed to grow. That's the reason why "poor redisplay when prompt > 1 line" is a low-priority problem: the better solution is to shorten the prompt. Stefan
