Indeed, great examples, thanks.

I think the reason is that it more closely mimics what happens with the
echo area and it arguably (philosophically) better matches the default
setting of `enable-recursive-minibuffers`.

But if it results in regressions with packages to maple-minibuffer or
mini-frame, we should of course try and address that (either by refining
the behavior or by changing the default).
