There could be a variable you bind to have it not do such suppression
(or to refine the algorithm it uses -- perhaps telling the message
code what prefix to consider a duplicate [instead of looking for
"..."]).
However, the standard `message' calls should probably be left as is.
Most elisp programmers treat `message' as temporary output, and don't
consider that the results are logged, so they often write many
progress messages using `message'. This looks great to the user, but
can make the message log completely useles by swamping it with
duplicate entries; the current suppression of duplicates tries to work
around this problem.
Documentation is of course a good thing...
