My minibuffer lives in its own frame, with no obvious "window above".
[ At startup, there is no modeline at all. Admittedly, by the time
read-passwd gets called, there will probably be some frame displaying
a window with modeline somewhere, but the point is that there's no
clear modeline attached to the minibuffer, in general. ]
