After asking Stefan he agrees that the problem is in the documentation
of max-mini-window-height that should specify that the height is
expressed in terms of the default's frame font.

So according to that it is fixed now in icomplete-vertical and waiting
for a patch to improve the documentation of max-mini-window-height.
