Try to redefine slime-message like so:

 (defun slime-message (format &rest args)
   (apply 'message format args))

You can also try to use the typeout window.  Type M-x
slime-ensure-typeout-frame and long messages will be displayed in that
frame.  (Use (slime-setup :typeout-frame t) in your .emacs to create
the typeout window at each startup.)

Because the message for the second function doesn't fit in a single
line.  slime-message opens the *Slime Note* so that you can see the
entire message an not only the first line.
