Installed in revision 110748 on trunk.

I didn't go through it but IIUC read_minibuf calls choose_minibuf_frame
which calls Fset_frame_selected_window for each frame which now, for the
selected window, unconditionally makes its buffer current.

For me the fact that unwinding a sequence of operations as

  choose_minibuf_frame ();

  record_unwind_protect (choose_minibuf_frame_1, Qnil);

  record_unwind_protect (Fset_window_configuration,
                         Fcurrent_window_configuration (Qnil));

  record_unwind_protect (Fset_window_configuration,
                         Fcurrent_window_configuration (mini_frame));

would work in practice constitutes a miracle already.
