  One way to fix this is to allow e.g. Return to display the message
right away, while still keeping the threshold.

  I still think I'd pretty much prefere a system where the cursor is not
the same thing as the selection (as you say in the second part of your
follow-up), but this seems not to be a widely accepted way of doing
things...  So what I propose here sounds like a reasonable compromise to
me.
