Sorry about that.  You can remove the call to remove-buffer-from-screen
from server.el.  There is no need for it.  I have no idea why I put it
there in the first place.  Here's its definition anyway:

(defun remove-buffer-from-screen (&optional buf)
  "Remove all instances of BUF (current buffer if nil) from the current
screen and remove the screen from the buffer's screens list."
  (interactive)
  (or buf
      (setq buf (current-buffer)))
  (let (win
	(buf2 (other-buffer buf)))
    (while (setq win (get-buffer-window buf))
      (set-window-buffer win buf2)))
  (save-excursion
    (set-buffer buf)
    (setq allowed-screens (delq (current-screen) allowed-screens))))

When using epoch, I frequently find that I manage to (perhaps by clicking
in one of the buffer windows before answering a mini-buffer prompt) get the
minibuffer to repeatedly ask me some question like "Insert what file" or
"Kill what buffer".  This question doesn't seem to interfere with anything
else I'm doing (including using other commands which use the minibuffer),
but it is somewhat disconcerting to have it keep on prompting me.

How can I either get rid of this repeated prompt or answer it?

You can get rid of it by returning back to the minibuffer and either
completing the command to aborting it (\C-g). To get back to the
minibuffer you of course have to do a {previous,next}-window until the
cursor is in the minibuffer. (ala \C-x\C-p or C-x\C-n, or \M-x
previous-w<TAB><RET>).

You got there executing a command that prompted for a response, and
you click the mouse in an other window, returning the cursor to the
window, while leaving the command still waiting. This does not
disturbe the minibuffer much as you noticed, but every command that
uses the minibuffer uses a recursive minibuffer edit.

I've noticed this too.  I usually use the top-level command to clear this
condition.

Simply move the cursor back into the mini-buffer (with C-x o) and type C-g.
