Well, you should examine your .emacs for suspicious things. Or, if
you really have no idea what's doing it, you can even take a
binary-search-like approach and comment out halves of your .emacs
seeing if the problem repeats.

They are identical because all of the warnings you get are being shown.
*Warnings* buffer is an internal buffer with all the warnings. If you
set `display-warning-minimum-level' to something like `emergency', the
-show buffer will disappear, and the *Warnings* buffer will continue
existing in the background.

We use `Emacs' as a generic name for both.

You have a point; it might be considered a bug.

Because there are people who still prefer doing things "the old way"
(not to mention that `M-x apropos' is faster than the hyper version),
and who would (rightfully) bitch and moan if we were to remove the old
facility. We've been bitten by such things in the past, and it's best
to have a conservative approach.
Anyway, good luck with XEmacs, and thanks for being persistent and
reporting the bugs.
