​If that is the case, then why when I simply select some other window via
`select-window', which also runs the ​`​buffer-list-update-hook', which (1)
runs the `​format-time-string' for `minibuffer-line', (2) runs
`format-mode-line' for `minibuffer-line', the recursion does not happen?

I've also tried to run `​format-time-string' manually just now and it
didn't entail recursion on its own.
