I'm not sure this matters, because if you change the recipe to start:

emacs -Q -f iswitchb-mode \
  --eval "(setq read-buffer-function 'iswitchb-read-buffer)"

ie, use iswitchb-mode rather than just adding to minibuffer-setup-hook,
there is no such error. The difference seems to be that C-x b runs
iswitch-buffer in that case rather than switch-buffer.
