It is from a tty.
I just tried to make this fail starting from emacs -Q
and couldn't do so. The initial C-g failure, not quitting out
of the minibuffer, doesn't happen right after startup.
However, once C-g fails to quit, it continues failing reliably.
And it fails regardless of the purpose of the minibuffer.
I learned not to type C-g to get out of a minibuffer.
First I tried giving operands that would be meaningless.
Then I thought of using C-].
As a result of this change in my usage, it does not get hung.
But the bug is still there.
If I can make it fail again, I will send a backtrace.
ISTR that at least once Emacs was in a state where C-g did not turn
off region highlighting. I suspect that is the same bug, appearing
in a different way.
