I think mainly it was the > somewhat more exotic users of message, like quail completion info etc. I see that quail completion currently doesn't work correctly in the minibuffer: it doesn't display completions in the minibuffer for multi-key input methods. So this needs fixing anyway. BTW, I see there are several duplicate implementations of `minibuffer-message' in Emacs. Maybe they all can be replaced with a simple call to `minibuffer-message'?
