It's apparently so.

?? `C-n' from the minifuffer doesn't exit the minibuffer. It seems to
be bound to `next-line', as reported if you do the experiment in the
original message.

Agreed, but that seems to be the current behavior. Try for example
[C-x C-f C-h c M-p]. Emacs will tell you that "M-p runs the command
previous-history-element". It looks ok to me.
