[ I'm curious to know more about those isearch and minibuffer cases
because I haven't bumped into them. Not that it makes any difference
to the following. ]

Hmm, electric-pair-mode *is* a regular minor mode. Maybe you mean
that it should be buffer-local because you'd only want to enable it in
a few specific major modes?
We could very well define an electric-pair-local-mode, like we did with
electric-indent-local-mode. In the mean time, you should be able to
hack it with something like:
(electric-pair-mode 1)
(setq-default electric-pair-mode nil)
(add-hook 'foo-mode-hook
(lambda () (setq-local electric-pair-mode t)))

I think I would agree that it should be less eager in text modes
(i.e. in modes where syntax-ppss gives notoriously unreliable results).
I'm pretty sure that can be done fairly easily, by fixing a few
concrete cases.
