No, when that happens, the y-or-n-p prompt is gone.  Everything looks
like normal top level, but all keys are "undefined" (maybe all except
"y" and "n"?).

I can't be more specific, haven't seen the problem for a long time now.
AFAIR that happened when I somehow stepped out of the prompt, e.g. by
forcing Emacs into debugger, or using Edebug.  I don't recall exactly,
and maybe it is unrelated, but there are similarities to what the OP
described.  Too bad I currently can't reproduce the issue I mean.  I
think the OP can be of more help.

Michael.
