An idea I had on Sunday was to forcibly set the window system focus to
the minibuffer frame just before the recursive edit in read_minibuf,
though I didn't post a patch for it.  This appears to work for me.

It would look something like this:



diff --git a/src/minibuf.c b/src/minibuf.c
index 0fc7f2caa1..7723167d4d 100644
--- a/src/minibuf.c
+++ b/src/minibuf.c

   /* Don't allow the user to undo past this point.  */
   bset_undo_list (current_buffer, Qnil);
 
+  /* Ensure that the minibuffer frame has the window-system focus.
+     This is sometimes needed for minibuffer-only frames.  */
+  Fx_focus_frame (mini_frame, Qt);

   recursive_edit_1 ();
 
   /* If cursor is on the minibuffer line,
