I think this is because we cannot display the minibuffer messages at
the end of the minibuffer contents (which is not visible) in the
vertical case.

Why is it a problem where we show the cursor in these cases?  What is
important is that the minibuffer message be visible and does not
interfere with typing at the minibuffer prompt.
