ido-find-file sometimes leaves point in uneditable text

[Chris Moore]

Use this 2-line .emacs file:

  (setq ido-everywhere t)
  (ido-mode t)

Then type:

  C-x C-f / t m p / <escape> <backspace>

I see an error:

  "Text is read-only: #<buffer  *Minibuf-1*>"

and now I'm unable to type any more letters without seeing:

  "Text is read-only"

Point ends up on the 't' in "/tmp".

Note that if I only typed "/tmp" or if I typed "/tmp/x" then <escape>
<backspace> works OK, deleting "tmp" and "x" respectively.  It's only
when I've just typed a slash that this bug shows itself.
