I tried this here with emacs 25:
(progn
(man "X")
(y-or-n-p "-->"))
This stills behave as described: the prompt disappears and doesn't come
back from alone.
OTOH, a simple call to message done from within a timer doesn't behave
like this. So this seems to be special to process sentinels, thus it's
probably a rare situation that this happens - a bit annoying
nonetheless.
