The error seems to come from this wg function:

(defun wg-error-on-active-minibuffer ()
  "Throw an error when the minibuffer is active."
  (when (active-minibuffer-window)
    (error "Workgroup operations aren't permitted while the \
minibuffer is active.")))

'window-configuration-change-hook' now conceptually runs after any
resize operation which includes states where the minibuffer window is
active.  FWIW the call sequence you encounter is

stash-my-working-config -> wg-make-wconfig -> wg-ewtree->wtree ->
wg-error-on-active-minibuffer

so maybe you should not stash your working configuration when the
minibuffer is active.
