I can now recreate at will with a magit sequence (l o hackbox/ TAB) which
triggers a minibuffer re-size to accommodate the list of git branches:

(gdb) info frame 0
Stack frame at 0x7fffffffb2e0:
 rip = 0x5555556a80ef in Factive_minibuffer_window (minibuf.c:230); saved
rip = 0x5555556f52ab
 called by frame at 0x7fffffffb340
 source language c.

228         return Qnil;
229
230       innermost_MB = nth_minibuffer (minibuf_level);
231       FOR_EACH_FRAME (frames, frame)
232         {
233           f = XFRAME (frame);
234           if (FRAME_LIVE_P (f)
(gdb) p minibuf_level

Let me know if you want something else.
