Currently messages displayed when the minibuffer is active don't get
omitted. They just obscure the minibuffer content from the user.

With the patch I sent (that changes `message' to call `minibuffer-message'
in the active minibuffer), Isearch in the minibuffer works mostly without
changes, but there is a difference on failed Isearch: without this patch
the Isearch error message overwrites the minibuffer content, but with this
patch it appends the error message to the end of the minibuffer, e.g.
I-search backward: foo [Failing I-search backward: bar]
I'm not sure this is a bad thing since it keeps displaying the original
content of the minibuffer.
Otherwise, we could just fix this particular case not to use
`minibuffer-message'.
