Those problems have mostly been fixed indirectly by the introduction of
`minibuffer-inactive-mode`, which happened to kill the local variables
at the end of an activation.

Before that (i.e. in Emacs<24) there were cases where
`indent-line-function` was "inherited" from one minibuffer to the next.

The remaining problems (that is, until Alan fixed it by re-instating
fundamental-mode upon activation of a minibuffer) were those of an active
minibuffer inheriting the settings from `minibuffer-inactive-mode`.

I don't think this should affect users either way (except indirectly by
the likelihood of lingering corner case bugs).

What's the benefit?  Have you tried to implement it?
