Hello,

I've been seeing something similar and I have a theory as to the cause.
I am using Icomplete, and I think what happens is that the C-g
interrupts something Icomplete is doing, rather than serving to exit the
minibuffer.  Toon, are you using Icomplete or similar?

Here is my evidence.  One machine on which I use Emacs is underpowered.
With icomplete-show-matches-on-no-input non-nil, on that machine, I type
M-x, and wait for the completions to appear.  I do this several times so
that I have an intuitive sense for how long they take to appear.  And
then I type M-x, and try to hit C-g while Icomplete is computing.  I can
reliably trigger the bug.  If I instead wait two or three seconds after
typing M-x, it never occurs.
