It's an internal hack and should mostly be invisible to the rest of the
Lisp code.  It's explained in a comment in minibuf.c (search for
Qlambda).
Passing an initialization-function to read_minibuf (e.g. via the
initial-input arg) would make it possible to get rid of this hack, BTW.

BTW, your patch looks OK now, so if your tests indicate that it works
correctly, feel free to install it.
