At least, I assume it doesn't complete - the progress bar still runs but the actual splashscreen doesn't go away until you click on a cell

This sounds like the message pump needing a kick. Will have a play.

This is actually a 'feature' of Excel - it appears to freeze all threads while the function bar is being edited. I've added a watchdog timer to remove the splash screen regardless after 30 seconds.
