I remember such a discussion vaguely, but after much searching, haven't
been able to find it again. Sorry.

Most of the time, yes. If that window no longer exists on termination of
the minibuffer, or we've moved to a different frame, things aren't so
simple.
In read_minibuf (the meat of the minibuffer processing), there is a
variable calling_window which records that window. It gets pushed onto
the binding stack (along with a lot of other variables) around the
recursive edit, and then possibly restored in the unwind_protect function
read_minibuf_unwind. However, restore_window_configuration overrides it,
because of the order these things are pushed onto the binding stack by
read_minibuf.
Do you want me to fix this bug? It seems there are quite a lot of people
who've made observations about it in the last couple of days.
