Yes, it is tedious, but whether it is worth it depends on the users of
unusual minibuffer setups. We want the window save/restore feature to
be as useful and less disruptive as possible.

For example, I think it would be good to also save&restore the
buffer-list (and perhaps buried-buffer-list) parameter(s), to make the
post-restore experience as similar to the pre-save one as possible.
That would be quite tedious, but it is doable.
