This was an oversight. Should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting it.
But now, the first time I start SLIME in a new Emacs session I don't see the "encouraging startup message" anymore. It's buried in the *Messages* buffer - I see "Loading animate...done" instead.
From looking at the source it seems as if the animation is actually invoked before the startup message is written so I guess the culprit is the autoloading of animate.
For me it helps if I just add something like (if fboundp 'animate-string (load-library "animate")) towards the end of slime.el. Cheers, Edi. PS: Yes, this is an important feature. Tomorrow I'm going to demo SLIME to a friend and this was the first thing I wanted to show him... :)
