Nothing comes to mind.  But since we are talking about a single
commit, just revert it and run with that for however long it usually
takes to see this problem again.

The problem seems to be that some code deletes text in the minibuffer,
but doesn't update the markers there.  I couldn't find a code pattern
that might have that effect, but maybe you can.
