Nothing I could reproduce, I'm not on Windows.

OK, again on Ubuntu:

src/emacs -Q

(require 'icomplete)
(setq icomplete-with-completion-tables
      (append icomplete-with-completion-tables
      '(read-file-name-internal)))
(icomplete-mode 1)
(setq tramp-default-method "ftp")

C-x C-f /foobar.baztoto.com:
                           ^ no problem so far              

                            <TAB>
                            ^ nothing happens

                            / 
                            ^ I get an error:

Error in post-command-hook (#[nil \300\301!\207 [run-hooks
icomplete-post-command-hook] 2]): (error "Command attempted to use
minibuffer while in minibuffer")

But that's another story. Problem in icomplete?

Yes, that's due to the patch to minibuffer.el, which I have reverted
meanwhile.

Best regards, Michael.
