Are you sure?  I see this fragment in minibuf.c:

  /* If this minibuffer is reading a file name, that doesn't mean
     recursive ones are.  But we cannot set it to nil, because
     completion code still need to know the minibuffer is completing a
     file name.  So use `lambda' as intermediate value meaning
     "t" in this minibuffer, but "nil" in next minibuffer.  */
  if (!NILP (Vminibuffer_completing_file_name))
    Vminibuffer_completing_file_name = Qlambda;

So it sounds like `lambda' is used in recursive minibuffers.  Am I
missing something?
