My system is OSX-PPC, aquamacs, sbcl 1.0, cvs slime (just did cvs up). I don't get the slime scratch window on startup, just the repl (which is the behaviour that I've always gotten); so, unless this is an Intel-specific problem, it would appear to be something in your emacs/slime config that is causing the behaviour that you're seeing.
I have the same setup, except under OSX-Intel, and I get the same behaviour as Bill. M-x slime starts the REPL but I don't see the Slime scratch buffer unless I do M-x slime-scratch. However, I start Slime when I start Aquamacs, and after Slime starts, the frame in which slime resides has two windows: the Emacs *scratch* buffer and the Slime REPL.
I adjusted my setup to have only one window in the frame by making this the last thing in my ~/.emacs:
(when (slime) (delete-other-windows))
May not be the most robust approach, but it sounds like it may correct the minor annoyance.
