That doesn't seem related to whether it gives the same result as

   (funcall collection "" predicate t)

I'm not surprised "it doesn't work" (which of course, is poor as
a description of problem) if you expect this to give you the (infinite)
list of possible node named.

Not surprised either.

There's a good reason why icomplete.el doesn't try to re-implement
completion, but instead piggybacks on top of the default
completion code.
