Is it possible to prevent *Slime Note* from opening so all the hints would go to minibuffer?
Try to redefine slime-message like so:
(defun slime-message (format &rest args) (apply 'message format args))
You can also try to use the typeout window. Type M-x slime-ensure-typeout-frame and long messages will be displayed in that frame. (Use (slime-setup :typeout-frame t) in your .emacs to create the typeout window at each startup.)
Why different functions hints behave differently?
Because the message for the second function doesn't fit in a single line. slime-message opens the *Slime Note* so that you can see the entire message an not only the first line.
