What do you think about let-binding a new variable
read-minibuffer-record-windows to nil around functions
that pop up completion windows?
I mean for example in minibuffer-completion-help:
(let ((read-minibuffer-record-windows nil))
(display-completion-list completions))
The default value of read-minibuffer-record-windows could be t,
so it will record new windows created by the user, e.g. by C-x 2.
But when let-bound to nil, it won't record windows created
by completion commands, so these windows won't be restored
after exiting the minibuffer.
