"eagerness to display *Completions*" made me think of this NEWS.30 entry
which is a stopgap compatibility fix that we'd like to improve:

    +++
    ** The "*Completions*" buffer now always accompanies 'icomplete-in-buffer'.
    Previously, it was not consistent whether the "*Completions*" buffer would
    appear when using 'icomplete-in-buffer'.  Now the "*Completions*" buffer
    and Icomplete's in-buffer display of possible completions always
    appear together.  If you would prefer to see only Icomplete's
    in-buffer display, and not the "*Completions*" buffer, you can add this
    to your init file:

        (advice-add 'completion-at-point :after #'minibuffer-hide-completions)

Possibly the resolution of this bug could help there, too.
