The second one was showcased by Gregory himself.
The first one should be clear: binding a local variable to a value
will have that value in effect for all the recursive uses of the same
minibuffer, something that isn't necessarily expected by the nested
users.

Sorry, I'm unable to encourage Gregory to understand the shortcomings,
no matter how much I tried, I guess it's my fault. Although it sounds
like the same situation is repeating with Martin's advice regarding
mini-window resizing, so maybe it isn't entirely my fault after all.
