When Lennart answers "n", lwarn splits the frame into two windows
(using the lower one for the warning). startup.el contains a function
`use-fancy-splash-screens-p' which decides whether to use "fancy"
(graphic) or "normal" (text) splash screen according to several
criteria, among them the following:

 (> window-height (+ image-height 19))

If you try starting Emacs with the following .emacs.el:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; .emacs.el ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(defun use-fancy-splash-screens-p () t)
(unless (y-or-n-p "Some question ")
   (lwarn '(test) :warning "Test warning"))
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

you won't see the "bug".
