I don't understand much more, it seems: the original wishlist
feature.  The call to grow/shrink_mini_window only recomputes data
about the windows for the next redisplay cycle.  When that next cycle
comes, it will first call pre-redisplay-function and
window-size-change-functions, from prepare_menu_bars, and then, after
the rest of redisplay finishes, actually perform the X repaint, by
calling update_frame.  So it sounds like the wish has been granted
already, no?  Moreover, the scenario where "prepare_menu_bars is
called before auto-resizing the minibuffer window", and as result
"‘window-size-change-functions’ wouldn't catch those auto-resizes",
seems impossible.

If that's not what is being wished, please tell more about the issue.
Likewise if I'm missing something here.
