Unrelated.
Minibuffer recursion is indicated as you say.
It is not indicated by [...] in the mode line.
"Minibuffer input is a special kind of
recursive editing." (elisp) `Recursive Editing'
This is about a non-minibuffer recursive edit,
which is indicated only by a not-very-noticeable
[...] in the mode line.
Those two are handled very differently in terms
of UI and interaction.
For the same reason that we highlight the
minibuffer indication of minibuffer depth, minor
mode `rec-edit-mode' can highlight the [...]
brackets. ("Can", because an option controls
whether the highlighting occurs.)
