When the `icomplete-show-matches-on-no-input` variable is nil,
completions will be not shown while minibuffer is empty:
1. emacs -Q
2. M-x icomplete-mode
3. M-x
=> No completions
4. f
=> Completions
5. C-/
=> No completions
With the 'find-file' function, minibuffer already contains the text --
the default directory. Once the minibuffer will become empty
completions will be hidden:
1. emacs -Q
2. M-x icomplete-mode
3. C-x C-f
=> Completions
4. C-x h C-w
=> No completions

Maybe it would be better to replace the text
"When non-nil, show completions when first prompting for input."
with something like
"When non-nil, show completions when minibuffer is empty."
