If you invoke this function non-interactively, pass it a non-nil value
as the 2nd argument.  That should shut up any messages from this
function or the subroutines it calls.  E.g.:

  (find-file-noselect "/foo/bar/nonexistent-file" t)

    => #<buffer nonexistent-file>

and no messages.

Does this solve your problem?
