When I want to open a new file and start doing so (C-x C-f), but then recall that I already have the file opened, and switch to it with C-x o (buffer names being shorter than full file paths), I can type in the buffer name, but not switch to the buffer because "Cannot switch buffers in minibuffer window".
I think you must mean `C-x b' instead of `C-x o'.
Is there no way Emacs can detect this condition and switch the buffer in (one of) the main window(s)? I guess the window in which this should happen is the window the user was in just before switching to the mini-buffer (information which I guess is stored anyway, since aborting the command brings us back to that window).
When you realize you don't want to complete the `C-x C-f' command, abortit with `C-g'. Then you can use `C-x b'. Or if you've set the `enable-recursive-minibuffers' option, you could do `C-x o C-x b'.
