That was the exact recipe to reproduce the problem. The message appears
on startup. See below for more details.

With -Q the problem vanishes. It is related to the splash screen, as

runemacs -q --no-site-file 

produces the problem and 

runemacs --no-splash

does not.

When the message about TUTORIAL.es appears on the minibuffer, the
current buffer is *scratch*, but C-x b reveals that there is a *GNU
Emacs* buffer. Switching to that buffer shows an incomplete splash
screen, with

Emacs Tutorial  Learn basic keystroke commands

as the last line. That is, the text that usually is below that line is
missing.

There is no t:/emacscvs/alt/etc/tutorials/ directory on my
install. Maybe this is part of the problem.

Furthermore, C-h t produces this message:

help-with-tutorial: Opening input file: no such file or directory,
t:/emacscvs/alt/etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL.es

The only files that match tutorial* on my CVS checkout are

tutorial.el
