I don't have any lines saying "-- Press Enter here to update --" in my 
*scratch*.

Does this happen to you with emacs -Q ?

I think you have a package that's outputting text to the wrong buffer on
initialization.

To delete the normal lines in scratch do (delete-region (point-min)
(point-max)) in *scratch*.
