It would have helped to provide a precise recipe to start with, but
indeed there's been a change in Emacs-28, in that the minibuffer now is
setup in its own major mode, which may have the side-effect of enabling the
buffer-local minor modes made global via `define-globalized-minor-mode`
in some cases where this didn't happen before.
[ I consider this change as a bug-fix.  ]

Note that `define-globalized-minor-mode` distinguishes between its MODE
argument and the TURN-ON function specifically so that the mode can be
enabled only in those buffers where it makes sense.

So if your globalized minor mode shouldn't be used in minibuffers, you
need to tweak its TURN-ON such that it tests `minibufferp` like in
Gregory's example.

I can't think of any reason why that would be the case.  Do you have
a simple test case (your `ido-resurrect-keybinding` is too complex for
my little brain to understand what it's expected to do).
