Right. I appreciate this separation: solve a bug _then_ implement a
feature.
Now, as far as I understand Eli and remaining maintainers are not OK
with your bugfix. This I have no opinion about, except for finding your
expectation of "auto-enlargement" reasonable at first sight. Other than
that, I haven't studied the matter. But hopefully we should all agree
on basic icomplete-independent behaviour and come up with a fix that is
acceptable for all.

Yeah, I agree. For example, in my verticality thing I would even remove
one extra feature of your implementation that I don't find useful: the
indentation of the candidates. These are features that can be of course
implemented _separately_.
