Thanks, I confirm such forcing the update fixes highlighting.

But still when cursor-face-highlight-nonselected-window is nil by default,
let-binding it to t has no effect:

```
(defun minibuffer-next-completion (&optional n)
  "Run `next-completion' from the minibuffer in its completions window."
  (interactive "p")
  (with-minibuffer-completions-window
    (let ((cursor-face-highlight-nonselected-window t))
      (next-completion n))))
```
