So the problem is not that bindings don't work when the user gets in
the minibuffer.  The problem is "how do I prevent the user from doing M-x?".

Right, allowing that might be tricky.  An easy way out is to make sure
the help never needs to be scrolled (i.e. make the behavior sufficiently
simple and intuitive that it can be described in 1-2 lines).

Again, take a look at how isearch handles similar issues.
