I think the behavior is correct, it's the doc string that needs to be
fixed.  What Drew expected happens when the value of the variable is
t, not `grow-only'.  The latter causes the minibuffer to shrink when
somebody or something writes an empty message there.

So I suggest to remove the part about shrinking when it becomes empty.
