If you use:
:echo "hello\nthere"
You get the hit-enter prompt before redrawing te display. So it's
indeed that closing the command-line window causes a redraw and that
clears the message.
Forcing the hit-enter prompt would be a solution, but at the same time
may annoy quite a few users.
I'll make a remark in the todo list if it's possible to redraw without
erasing the message. Don't expect this soon though.
