The problem is that Emacs tries to use `fill-minibuffer-function' in a
non-mini buffer.

This seems to fix it (check current buffer instead of selected
window):

Actually, the code can still recurse endlessly in a minibuffer where
(point-min) equals 1 after narrowing in `fill-minibuffer-function'
(that is if (minibuffer-prompt-end) is 1):

    (interactive "s")  <-- C-x C-e
    M-q
    => "Lisp nesting exceeds..."
