I don't grok this: what does ``display is stable'' mean?

I cannot reproduce this here. Emacs does clear the screen on my
machine.
You are talking about running Emacs on a character terminal, such as
xterm, some terminal emulator, or a text console, right?
If so, could you perhaps tell more details about what do you see,
before and after Emacs starts? Perhaps provide some ASCII-art picture
of what happens?
Also, does it happen with "emacs -q -no-site-file" as well?
