I believe it comes from this line in if_ecl.c, which runs the first
time you run an :ecl command:

  safe_eval_string("(load (format nil \"~a/if_ecl.lisp\" (vim::expr-int \"$VIMRUNTIME\")))", TRUE);

If you run the :ecl command (or whatever calls it) with "silent", then
you probably won't get it.  E.g., my .vimrc ends in:

  silent so ~/lisp/ecl-repl.vim
  silent ecl (load "/home/lmc/.ecl-vimrc.lisp")

and I don't get a message.

As a test case, start your vim with

  vim -u NONE -U NONE

which disables .vimrc or .gvimrc, and see what happens.
