I had assumed "go normal" meant "shrink back to normal size", which is true
for the echo area but not the minibuffer.

Well, first, to clarify, I was talking about unpatched Emacs, and using
window-size-change-functions in an attempt to catch window size changes.

1. window at 80x24, mini-window at 1 line, window thinks it's 80x24.
Everything okay.
2. mini-window grows to 2 lines
3. window at 80x23, mini-window at 2 lines, window thinks it's 80x24.
Inconsistent, but temporary.
4. user resizes window to 79x23. size-change-functions called.
5. window at 79x23, mini-window at 2 lines, window thinks it's 79x23.
Everything okay again.
6. mini-window shrinks.
7. window at 79x24, mini-window at 1 line, window thinks it's 79x23.
Permanent inconsistency.

Am I missing something here?
