And that buffer to which you return is also a minibuffer.  IOW, if you
are N levels deep in a recursive minibuffer, you cannot exit it until
you type C-g N times.  This could be perceived as "C-g doesn't quit
the minibuffer".

I'm not saying this is what happened, I'm just trying to think about
every possible situation which could have been interpreted that way.
