Simpler test case for the problem:

(push (lambda ()
	(message "exiting %s" (minibufferp)))
      minibuffer-exit-hook)

(read-string "foo")

It turns out that `minibuffer-exit-hook' is usually (always?) run in the
minibuffer, so "Normal hook run just after exit from minibuffer." is
misleading.  I've instead copied the text from the manual, which says
"Normal hook run whenever a minibuffer is exited." in Emacs 28.
