I've seen the same thing, but I'm loading over a slip line, so the "test 
pattern" mode line stays up for about a minute while the various toolbar 
icons download.

I use:

(setq
 display-time-day-and-date	nil
 display-time-interval		30
 display-time-show-load		nil      ; no longer used
 display-time-ignore-read-mail	nil
 )
(display-time)

I guess it looks semi-intentional, to get around the earlier reported
bug of misdisplays when new images had to be loaded?
