Not all minor-modes use define-minor-mode. One way or another, some stuff will slip through. I agree - some stuff will slip through. I don't think you'll find a 100% solution for excluding minor modes. There is too much overlap between the conventions of defining major and minor modes, and too many ways to define each. Recent Emacs versions have `minor-mode-list' (not alist), a list of all minor mode functions. There is no guarantee that it will be complete, however. It is fed by `add-minor-mode'.
