It's apparently so.

?? `C-n' from the minifuffer doesn't exit the minibuffer.  It seems to
be bound to `next-line', as reported if you do the experiment in the
original message.

Agreed, but that seems to be the current behavior.  Try for example
[C-x C-f C-h c M-p].  Emacs will tell you that "M-p runs the command
previous-history-element".  It looks ok to me.
