bug#43813: [BUG] current-message not working with minibuffer-message

[pinkanon pinkanon]

Here's an example:

 

;; someone else's code (minibuffer-message "important message") // flycheck, whatever

;; ...

;; my code soon after:

;; (unless (current-message) (minibuffer-message "unimportant info"))

echo area: "unimportant info" instead of "important info"

I am writing a helper which is nearly constantly bombarding the echo area with hints. I want that bombradment to stop when any other message/minibuffer-message shows up.

 The problem is not in them not disappearing, the problem is when one message (aka low-priority hint) shows
 when another message (high-priority aka linting) is displaying (effectively killing the high-priority message).

Can you show an example of such problem? I thought we've solved that
in Emacs 27, but maybe I'm missing something.
