Where is the cursor when you select *Messages* manually or do a

(switch-to-buffer "*Messages*")

at the end of your .emacs?

Could you tell whether the cursor is always at the same "window" line of
*Messages* or at the same "contextual" line of *Messages* (say, always
at the line starting with

Loading regexp-opt...done

or always at the line preceding

Loading ffap...done

...)?  You could, for example, ask .emacs to display a message before
ffap gets loaded.
