Alas, this is not what is happening there.  The old behavior has been 
lost, and the developer who initiated these changes still firmly believes 
that the old behavior is "an ad hoc unsystematic mess, not worthy even of 
being called a behaviour", that it is "chaotic", that it is an "abstruse 
"design" [that] can only have arisen by accident", that it "would get 
rejected out of hand, and indeed ridiculed" if it were proposed now.  In 
spite of this, an approximation of the old behavior is now planned, and 
I'm supposed to document where that current approximation differs from the 
old behavior, to fix the current approximation.  There is of course no 
chance that the behavior of an UI element as complex as the minibuffer 
could ever be recovered by working that way.
