You're right to distinguish the two sorts of commands. And no doubt the comment
refers to a command initiated from the minibuffer during input (e.g. via a
minibuffer keymap).
But it doesn't follow that that command, which calls `minibuffer-message', is
finished as soon as the message is displayed. You can't argue only from a
specific example: TAB is done as soon as it displays its message, but `my-cmd',
bound to `C-M-S-H-backspace' might not be done as soon as it displays a message.
Regardless of which command calls `minibuffer-message', and when, there is no
guarantee that the command is "virtually finished" when the message is
displayed. A command can do anything after displaying a message.
Again, I don't know if the binding is appropriate. This is only about the
comment, unless the comment's assumption is a requirement for adding the
binding.
