While not strictly wrong, it is indeed an undesirable result. I'll try
and see how to fix it.

Sounds like it hits a real Icicles bug: there are rather few guarantees
about the actual case of the returned string when completion-ignore-case
is set. So while we do want to fix the problem, code should not
assume anything about the particular case of the return string (which
is only considered to be a "cosmetic" issue).
