I think you need deleting (non-killing) commands to remap the killing commands
to:
(defun delete-word (arg)
(interactive "p")
(delete-region (point) (progn (forward-word arg) (point))))
(defun backward-delete-word (arg)
(interactive "p")
(delete-word (- arg)))
Then, as I said, bind these in _each_ of the minibuffer keymaps. This is for
one of the maps:
(define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-map
[remap kill-word] 'delete-word)
(define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-map
[remap backward-kill-word] 'backward-delete-word)

Try doing it on `minibuffer-setup-hook' instead.
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook'
(lambda ()
(make-local-variable 'kill-ring)))

Yes, AFAIK.
