OK.  Which means that I should finally stop interpreting whatever I see
and just post my observation: When with emacs -Q I evaluate either

(defun my-fun (string) "")

or

(defun my-fun (string) t)

and then

(setq set-message-function 'my-fun)

and repeatedly press the <up> key, the minibuffer tells me

Beginning of buffer

If this is the intended behavior, then this is simply to inform Dmitry
that 'set-message-function' does not provide any help to fix my problem
with suppressing a message I never want to see.
