`repeat' handles the special case, where `last-repeatable-command'
is `exit-minibuffer', so a advice, which treats `ido-exit-minibuffer'
as `exit-minibuffer' will probably work.

(defadvice repeat (before repeat-fix-ido activate)
  (when (eq last-repeatable-command 'ido-exit-minibuffer)
    (setq last-repeatable-command 'exit-minibuffer)))
