`fancy-splash-screens' used to set it to the output of
`startup-echo-area-message'. You removed that in revision 1.415 of
startup.el (it was introduced in 1.215 by Gerd Moellmann).

This is the ChangeLog entry:

2006-09-14  Richard Stallman  <rms@gnu.org>

        * startup.el (fancy-splash-text): Change text to improve alignment.
        (fancy-splash-screens): Don't set non-standard tab width.
        Bind cursor-type temporarily, and make it easy to patch to
        preserve the splash buffer.
        (normal-splash-screen, fancy-splash-tail): Spell out "Meta-x".
        (fancy-splash-screens): Display echo-area message explicitly.
        Don't set fancy-splash-help-echo.

             Juanma
