After some more debugging, I found setting read-minibuffer-restore-windows
to nil gave the desired behaviour.

From the doc for read-minibuffer-restore-windows : "Non-nil means restore
window configurations on exit from minibuffer."  I guess this includes
window points as well - so this is expected behaviour in that changes to
the window configuration as a result of a timer run whilst the minibuffer
is active are reverted?
