No, I think his point was that using this method, it _will_ ignore your
bindings during the lookup, because the key-map associated with `my-mode'
inside the let will be empty.
In other words, you (1) use a permanent entry in
`minor-mode-overriding-map-alist' with a non-empty keymap to define your
"normal" minor-mode bindings, and then (2) when you want to lookup the
underlying bindings, you temporarily bind `minor-mode-overriding-map-alist'
as shown above to hide your bindings during the key lookup.
[I've never tried this, so I dunno if it really works, but it looks very
elegant...]
