This is actually a bug fix. ":lcd" always displays the directory when
the command is typed. The reason you didn't get it before 8.0.1275 is
that the flag, indicating the command was typed, was accidentally reset.
That bug has now been fixed.
You can avoid the message by using ":silent":
edit ~/.profile | silent lcd %:h
A simpler way is to set 'cmdheight' to 2.
