My guess is that the advice is not run, then.  Probably because the
minibuffer is setup via completing-read which is coded in C and calls
Fread_from_minibuffer directly, thus bypassing advice.

You can try adding

   (defadvice completing-read (before crush-message activate)
     (message nil))

[ tho Fcompleting_read is also called a few times from the C code, so
  that advice will also be bypassed in various occasions.  ]
