Good point.
I can now reproduce this on a vanilla Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity VM and the Vim
which is in the depot.
Yes if the ex cmd spans two lines when I execute it you will get the Press

When I shorten the cmd to fit on one line the Press ENTER went away on the good
systems but still persists on the bad systems.
