Since a few days ago, typing an expression in the minibuffer no longer
shows ElDoc information on the mode line; instead it shows it in the
minibuffer, after the cursor.  Is this change intentional?  I see
nothing about it in NEWS.  It seems to have started when the ElDoc
changes were merged from the branch.

To reproduce, start "emacs -Q" and type, e.g.,

  M-: (set-text-properties SPC

You will see the function's signature shown in the minibuffer instead of
the mode line.
