With some help from @NickD in this thread
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/84614
I've isolated the messages source to this function:
(defun recentf-dialog-goto-first (widget-type)
"Move the cursor to the first WIDGET-TYPE in current dialog.
Go to the beginning of buffer if not found."
(goto-char (point-min))
(condition-case nil
(let (done)
(widget-move 1)
(while (not done)
(if (eq widget-type (widget-type (widget-at (point))))
(setq done t)
(widget-move 1))))
(error
(goto-char (point-min)))))
Perhaps the real problem is in widget-move and the
messages should not even be generated. But that isn't
something I have a way to tell. What I CAN tell is that
given they seem to serve no purpose beyond creating
confusion I see they can easily be eliminated using
widget-move's optional suppress-echo parameter.
Specifically, change
(widget-move 1)
to
(widget-move 1 t)
in BOTH invocations within the above function.
