twm does group iconification and deiconification when the leader of a
window group gets (de)iconified.  The minibuffer happens to be the group
leader for all epoch windows.  The ICCCM does not specify how window 
group hints should be used by the window manager.  It is perfectly
legal for mwm to what it is doing.
