Yes, but (I think) I explained that I have a different command bound to `C-x k'.
That command proposes the name of (current-buffer) as the default value.  And as
I said, the name of the buffer returned by (current-buffer) here is in fact
" *Minibuf-0*".

See above - I am not using `kill-buffer' for `C-x k'.  I doubt that anything so
basic is broken.

Yes, that is what I am seeing, confirmed by evaluating (current-buffer)
there/then.

Are you sure?  How to know?

I don't know.  I can try to dig into it later, I suppose (I cannot now).  But
perhaps try binding `C-x k' to a command that proposes the name of
(current-buffer) as the default?
