I think I finally understand what the reporter means.  To reproduce:

emacs -Q -nw
M-: and then enter enough text that you have ten lines of stuff in the
minibuffer.

It'll look like this:

[Message part 2 (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

So far so good.  Then C-p six-ish times and then C-n a few times:

[Message part 4 (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

Note that the continuation markers have gone missing from the last three
lines.
