Hi -
I ran into a similar issue and I believe I have a possible fix to two issues.
1) ido's tab completion was broken with org-mode because the list of choices
needs to be a list of strings. The current implementation of org-ido-completing-read
presents that as a list of consed strings. Close! But not quite the same. I'm
amazed it actually worked.
2) For reasons I haven't fully untangled, ido-enter-matching-directory can conflict
with deeply nested project paths, so I've rudely set it to nil. I think that var is only
a problem when it is set to t - the other options ('first or 'only) appear to be safer.
Only some minor changes to org-ido-completing-read
(defun org-ido-completing-read (&rest args)
"Completing-read using `ido-mode' speedups if available"
(if (and org-completion-use-ido
(fboundp 'ido-completing-read)
(boundp 'ido-mode) ido-mode
(listp (second args)))
(let ((ido-enter-matching-directory nil))
(apply 'ido-completing-read (concat (car args))
(mapcar (lambda (x) (car x)) (nth 1 args))
(cddr args)))
(apply 'completing-read args)))
Even with this fix, I'm seeing some lingering pains. Specifically if you press tab
multiple times, the range of choices is truncated to a subset.
When I have more free time, I'll research it some more.

I get similar or the same behavior as you describe. I also get severe
slowness (almost a minute per character typed and c-g not always
working) at times, and a peculiar bug where if you press TAB enough
times (try this) it actually shows a filesystem path name instead of
an olpath.
I wrote to Kim Storm with backtrace and detailed explanation of one of
the bugs, no reply. It might be up to the users to maintain ido; I
don't know its status.
Meanwhile, there was a post on emacs-help recently with some speedup
changes to ido. Have not tried them yet.
Despite the bugs, I find ido indispensable, to the point where I
simply would not refile without it.
