It sounds like you should. IIUC, this is not coming from any code that you loaded. If not using `--no-splash' or setting `inhibit-splash-screen' (or `inhibit-startup-screen', presumably) to non-nil causes a beep, it sounds like something is wrong with Emacs itself. Users should not have to guess about such behavior, as you apparently had to. If the beep is intensional then it obviously didn't convey the message it was supposed to in this case. But before filing a bug, perhaps read over `(emacs) Entering Emacs' once, just to be sure it doesn't speak to this explicitly.
