Yes, that's the nature of the echo area (it's only called the minibuffer if you edit text in it), the displayed text stays there until replaced by another one or executing a command. This isn't a Circe bug at all, just standard Emacs behavior.
Try this experiment,
$ emacs
C-x k
You will see the message
Kill buffer (default ...):
and when you answer "y", poof, buffer and message both gone!
That is the correct way.
I can't reproduce that here actually:
# su - nobody #or just us another pristine account
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
nobody@jidanni6:/$ emacs -nw
C-x k
Circe uses the built-in y-or-n-p
method. If you feel this method should clean out the echo area after reading the response, please file a bug report with Emacs itself.
Start circe offline, it cannot connect, so go to the buffer and do C-x k
but that message still stays there in the minibuffer! (circe-version)"Circe 2.6"(emacs-version)"GNU Emacs 25.2.2...
