Yes it should, for the following reasons :
a) it used to be allowed (let's not discount that)
b) it is decorated as an editable object
c) M-x is obscure: there is no "Enter Command" menu option
d) after GUIIzation Qt will have two separate things: a command
minibuffer, and a status bar. The combination of these two separate
things is mega-sucky
Hopefully this change will fall out when minibuffer gets GUIIzed
