    Is there a general rule, that package developpers should follow
    here, under which circumstances a lisp function should not display
    any echo area messages? Is this rule documented somewhere?

We do not have a rule, but perhaps we need to make one.  The rule
could be that timers should not display echo area messages.

Or maybe we can arrange for y-or-n-p to put the question back up
after such a timer runs.
