I can't find the revision 561ba2633e, but it could be commit 
3b0938c0420de2b845e7e8f8fbbb57ddc61718f2.

The aforementioned commit changed the way Ido's suggestions are 
displayed: instead of being plainly 'insert'-ed, they are now an 
'after-string' property on an overlay placed at the end of the prompt 
and input.

Does emacspeak work okay with icomplete-mode? The above is how the 
latter has been displaying its suggestions for some time.

This change has been made for better compatibility with the new way 
messages are displayed while minibuffer is active (they are displayed 
using the same mechanism). So I think emacspeak should learn to 
understand this kind of rendering either way.

Sorry for the inconvenience, though.
