Upon further review, it may only be minibuffer-prompt-end that has the
really screwy doc string. The other functions right next to it all say they
must be used in the minibuffer, and in those cases, the rest of the doc
string is correct. I'd still like a function that actually does what the
current doc string for minibuffer-prompt-end claims to do :-).

The best I've come up with so far is:

(defun writable-point-min ()
"Return first writable position in current buffer."
   (let
      ( (rval (point-min)) )
      (if (get-text-property rval 'read-only)
         (setq rval (next-single-property-change rval 'read-only)) )
      rval ) )
