Just giving a heads up that trouble may arise when moving a minibuffer
from one terminal to another (from tty to X for example).
This is judging from the following comment that I stumbled upon when
reading function `server-goto-toplevel':

;; We're inside a minibuffer already, so if the emacs-client is trying

`emacsclient ~/foo' causes a throw to top-level in most cases before
spawning a new frame to avoid some trouble, but I'm not sure if this
trouble applies for our case.
