This is it!  --no-splash removes the problem.  Apparently, the splash
screen is "loaded" even though I can't see it, and takes up the first
keypress.

Fortunately, this is easy to work-around.  I just have to disable the
splash screen in my .emacs file.  Any idea how to do this btw (I
didn't find a setting for it in M-x customize)?

Should I M-x report-emacs-bug this?
