> This was four years ago. Are you still seeing this problem?
Yes (but see below).
What actually happens (I might not have been aware of this
when I sent the report) is that the error message flashes in the
echo area very briefly, but it is immediately replaced by the
previous echo area contents, which might be a message, such as
`Back to top level' or it might be blank space (perhaps from
a call such as (message nil)?).
IOW, I think the problem is that the error message is transient,
and far too brief. There is no reason to restore whatever
echo-area contents were there before.
With emacs -Q the error message remains. It seems there is
something in my setup, besides just useing a standalong
minibuffer, that causes this. I will try to bisect the code
later to see if I can narrow it down. You can close this
bug, please. If I narrow it down and find an Emacs bug I'll
report it. Thx.
