I tried to use this recipe, but it produces weird results, and I don't
see what you describe. Would you like to show an easier to understand
recipe, or describe what should be in the min-window as result of the
recipe? And what exactly are your expectations from C-v/M-v in this
case?
I tried this:
M-x C-u 99 C-q C-j M-<
after that, C-v scrolls the mini-window as expected, so that I get to
the end in 13 C-v keypresses. Which looks reasonable to me.

M-v in the minibuffer is bound to switch-to-completions, so I'm unsure
what you expected here.
Adding Juri who worked on the scrolling commands in the minibuffer.
