Another way of handling this problem is to use -N (-noheaders) (which only
seems to work in line mode), then start up in line mode instead of curses
(without the -C), and finally switch to curses mode at the end of the script
being sourced.  This starts up without the header display, does your stuff
and then goes into curses mode and displays the header.  It seemed to work
OK on my version (6.5.6) even when the script rearranged the order of the
messages. 

BTW, the "curses" command itself isn't mentioned in the man page except in
one place, the section on initialization says not to use the "curses"
command from an initialization file.  It's not in the list of line mode 
commands, though it does work.  I take it that means it can't go in
.mushrc but it's ok in a file that used with -source.
