If you're using a separate minibuffer-only frame, then you can use
`minibuffer-inactive-mode` (and its `minibuffer-inactive-mode-map`)
which might do the trick.
If not, then I think you'll need to make changes to the C code because
otherwise any event sent to the echo area signals "Minibuffer window is
not active".
