bug#75093: 31.0.50; Incorrent pointer position with minibuffer messages

[the_wurfkreuz via "Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors" <bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>]

If my memory is not making things up right now, there might be situations where these kind of messages appear at the same time as you type. Which leads to a situation where characters are typed not at the current visual position of the cursor.

But i don't remember how exactly to reproduce this.
