My solution uses the SESSION to handle this, but it has a problem:

// put a message in $_SESSION["admin_notices"]

function session_admin_notice() {
    if($out = $_SESSION['admin_notices']) {
        $_SESSION["admin_notices"] = "";
        echo stripslashes($out);
    }
    return false;
}
add_action('admin_notices', "session_admin_notice");

THE PROBLEM IS: to get it to work you need to initialize the session USING THE SESSION COOKIE!?

public static function fix_session_bs() {
    // TODO: Why do I have to do this?
    if(!session_id() && $_COOKIE["PHPSESSID"]) {
        session_start($_COOKIE["PHPSESSID"]);
    }
}
add_action('admin_init', 'fix_session_bs');

Where is the session being reset? What am I doing wrong?

Curiously, the admin_notices hook puts your messages at the top of the page, before the header is rendered, while the default $message is rendered below the header.

(then there’s a javascript cludge to move it down below the header)

Is there any way to echo the admin_notices to the $message variable?
