In ./hid/common/actions.c we see:

  if (a->need_coord_msg)
    gui->get_coords (_(a->need_coord_msg), &x, &y);

This is set from these:

  {"GetXY", "", GetXY,
   getxy_help, getxy_syntax},

  {"GetXY", "", GetXY, getxy_help, getxy_syntax},

Note the "" which both triggers the get_coords but provides no
message.

Perhaps it would be better to pass NULL to those and change the two
GetXY() implementations to be like this (caveat error checks et al):

static int
GetXY (int argc, char **argv, Coord x, Coord y)
{
  gui->get_coords(argv[0], &x, &y);
  return 0;
}
