When I run find-file I get a prompt like this:

Find file: /tmp/reinhard/

I can edit everything on the right to the space after the colon.  For
instance, beginning-of-line moves the cursor to the first slash.

So far so good.  But if I then run the command backward-kill-word
(M-DEL), the cursor moves to the "f" of the word "file" and I get the
message

Text is read-only: #<buffer  *Minibuf-1*>

I'm sure you can reproduce the problem because I can can even
reproduce it with a precompiled binary for Widows I use at work.

Regards,
  Reinhard
