This is fixed now.

The following INCOMPATIBLE changes were made to avoid using `path' in
variable names.  Users of ido's file prompt reformatting features will
have to take care:

ido-max-prompt-path is renamed to ido-max-file-prompt-width.

ido-make-file-prompt-hook is renamed to ido-rewrite-file-prompt-functions,
and the hook functions must now use the dynamic variable `dirname'
instead of `path' when returning the modified prompt component.

Defcustom ido-rewrite-prompt-path-rules is renamed to
ido-rewrite-file-prompt-rules.
