Probably the result of revno 101415:

  2010-09-12  Stefan Monnier  <monnier <at> iro.umontreal.ca>

	  * subr.el (y-or-n-p): New function, moved from src/fns.c; use read-key.

It causes read_key_sequence to be called, which calls echo_prompt,
which calls echo_now, which calls echo_dash, which displays the
dashes.
