Sorry, I should have tested with `emacs -Q' before posting of course...
Turns out that it is not Emacs itself but a package I started using
recently, autopair. With `emacs -Q' read-from-minibuffer does not affect
the match data. If I then load autopair.el and activate it globally
(autopair-global-mode), read-from-minibuffer suddenly does chang the
match data.
However, given that there is apparently no good reason to assume that
read-from-minibuffer never changes the match data, I have to consider
this a bug in my code, so I'll keep the fix I added.
Still, I'll notify the developer of autopair, so he can decide for
himself if he should do something about it.
Thanks to all who replied in this thread. :-)
