I guess the message is meant to remain visible until you use the
minibuffer (again) or some other message pops up from somewhere.

At least, this is what happens for me when I call
comint-previous-matching-input-from-input or
comint-previous-matching-input repeatedly (via some key binding).

Can you reproduce your problem with emacs -Q?
