By definition a regression is a bug where a feature that has worked before
stops working. As you noted, icomplete-in-buffer didn't work for years,
until I fixed it for Emacs 29 (as least brought it to a usable state).
The test case that you described shows its effect only by accident,
until Eshel improved the related behavior of completion-in-region-mode,
so that now icomplete-in-buffer works consistently when it enables
both at the same time: in-buffer completions and in *Completions*.
So instead of trying to restore an arbitrary behavior at the moment
just after icomplete-in-buffer became usable, it would be much more
useful to invest energy to deciding how better to finish this feature.
