When the action running in the minibuffer is finished and it is not an action which switches to another buffer (like other-window), I suppose it should come back to the origin buffer. So, I guess that something somewhere should know how to reach this buffer... Maybe it's too hidden in the calling stack or in C code?

Someone care to explain the downvote? I believe the answer is correct: Emacs provides no way to know which buffer was current when the minibuffer was activated. (And yes, if in icicle-mode minor mode then you can know what that buffer is.)
