AFAIK it is a general M-x behaviour. 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've checked 21.3 and it is the same
there so it is not a regression.
