Pressing return in the minibuffer starts the hourglass, and then invokes minibuffer-complete-and-exit. This function throws so the start_hourglass done after return is canceled by an unwind-protect (in keyboard.c, command_loop_1(), around line 1784). This may be a bug. I am sure it is a bug. If you can fix it, please do.
