Thanks, I think your idea is correct.  But I'm not sure if
minibuffer-completion-help is the right place for wrapping in
with-minibuffer-selected-window.  This means that all calls of
annotation-function will be in the original buffer, whereas
only read-extended-command--annotation needs such wrapping.

Or do you care that such wrapping will be called for every command
in read-extended-command--annotation?  Then instead of annotation-function
you could try to use a new function affixation-function that is called
only once, so you could add wrapping to it.
