Not when you're in the minibuffer. Then they just signal an error, and the existing minibuffer level remains active. In pretty much every editor I know, things like "file entry" and stuff happens essentially in "transient windows", and you can't leave such a window before completing things. We're not talking about such a complex case now. We're talking about typing C-x b while you are in C-x C-f.
