So load issues a message. Would it make sense that load used something like optional-message? That change goes too far. In the case you describe, do_autoload should not display the message. But in many other cases it should. Perhaps do_autoload, when called from a timer, should not display the message. But it should put the message in *Messages*. Ideally it should display the message, but restore the previous echo area contents later. The hard part of that is arranging for the proper "later" time.
