Comment(by hakre):

 I now found out what is happening, but it is not worth patching:

  # install a brand new blog to a brand new database.
  # log in with default password.
  # click the nag away, but do not log out (!). the setting to hide the nag
 is stored in the cookie now.
  # delete the blog und database.
  # re-install.
  # log in with default password. no nag is showing because the cookie from
 previous setup is still active.

 so this is cookie related. the circumstances are quite rare, so i won't
 suggest to fix it because of that.

 it can make sense to load the database usermeta settings and overwrite the
 ''wp-settings-[0-9]+'' cookie on login so that the data is propperly
 reset. just an idea.
