There can be several minibuffers, so you need to be more precise.

When/where is this property added and then used?

I guess the simplest way would be to use minibuffer-with-setup-hook
where you setq-local those vars.

This has the downside that those buffer-local settings may leak to the
next use of the minibuffer, but it's probably harmless (and with any
luck minibuffer-inactive-mode will kill those buffer-local settings as
soon as you exit the minibuffer).
