I didn't mean it as "the solution to your local problem".

I just think it's a good idea in itself, and your request reminded me of
it.  Such a "completion list in a frame/box" is already implemented in
a few different ways for auto-complete/company-mode.

Agreed, it's very lightweight yet effective.  And the trick you use to
display it "one per line" is neat and works surprisingly well (I was
afraid it would cause the text to jump around too much).  I'd welcome
a patch that makes it work for icomplete-mode as well.
