Earlier versions do the same thing if you start them with the wait option (-w).
The difference is that wait is now the default, and you use -W to turn it off.
The would seem to work for the pg_ctl init[db] mode, however the OP is using the plain initdb where -W is:
-W
--pwprompt
But he is seeing the message when he starts the database, not when he does initdb of it.
Cheers,
