Normally, any input event kills the "GNU Emacs" splash buffer.
However, because the buffer name is not hidden, it shows up in the
Buffers menu.  That's why selecting this menu item causes firstly the
splash buffer to be killed, then a new empty "GNU Emacs" buffer to be
created.

I think the current fix is sufficient.
