Increases the echo area and displays what, exactly?

I couldn't find anything relevant by looking for some keywords I could
think about.

Are you saying that something like the below

  (progn
    (message "One")
    (message "Two"))

when evaluated, displays

   One
   Two

in the echo area, instead of just "Two"?  Because it doesn't happen to
me with today's master branch: I see only "Two".  If the recipe to
reproduce what you see is something more complicated, can you please
post such a recipe?
