That message comes from write-region, which fortunately provide a way to
silence it:
(defun save-messages-buffer ()
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer "*Messages*")
;; (save-buffer 0) or even just (basic-save-buffer) is too noisy, so
;; we lose their functionality (including basic-save-buffer-1 and
;; basic-save-buffer-2):
(when (and buffer-file-name
(buffer-modified-p))
(write-region (point-min) (point-max) buffer-file-name
nil 'quiet))))
