Depending on your POV, it could be argued that RET is the one that
actually invoked the command.

Perhaps the message should avoid showing the key sequence at all?

It seems that this is the intention of lines 54 through 62 in novice.el, but it doesn't seem to work any more.
This is a regression: it still works as expected in Emacs 23.4, but no longer in Emacs 24.3. Probably something about this-command-keys or command-execute changed in the meantime so that the code in novice.el no longer works as expected.
