C-j in the minibuffer is not bound to eval-print-last-sexp, and
eval-print-last-sexp is not bound to any key in the minibuffer.  So I
don't see any bug here.

If you try the same with eval-last-sexp, you will see the result you
expect, because "C-x C-e" _is_ bound in the minibuffer.

Why do you think there's a bug here?
