I wonder if it makes sense to always have the message from completion
append to the text in the minibuffer. For example, in this case, the
icomplete hint will go first and the completion message last.

This would seem to fix another problem seen in M-:. When users try to
complete while in minibuffer for example when using M-:, it switches to
show the completion message and blocks users from seeing the text they
are editing in the minibuffer.
