Does a visa ban apply to a minor? If so, for how long?

Normally, a subsequent application will almost certainly be refused under Section V 3.7, and the applicant will be banned for ten years.

This is correct if you allow that an application by a minor is not "normal." Look at V 3.7:

V 3.7 An application…will be refused if:

(a) the applicant previously breached UK immigration laws as described at V 3.9; and
(b) the application is made within the relevant re-entry ban time period in V 3.10 (which time period is relevant will depend on the manner in which the applicant left the UK).

So we have to look at V 3.9:

V 3.9 An applicant, when aged 18 years or over, …

We don’t have to look any further. V 3.9 does not apply in this case, so V 3.7 does not apply in this case, so there is no ban.
