    The minibuffer does not have a mode line.  And if we want to avoid
    confusion, putting the indicator somewhere far away from the
    minibuffer would not help.

Mode line far away from the minibuffer?  I use a standalone minibuffer frame
(with no mode line, as you point out), and I still wouldn't have trouble
seeing the indicator in the mode line.

    I think the minibuffer prompt a better
    place.  And using the same "recursive" indicator as recursive edits do
    in the mode line is sensible as well in my book.

Anyway, we can figure out the best design after the release. It sounds like
you might be in favor of such a feature, at least.
