Looks like Peter was the one that changed this,

commit 6ab02b6682c0b693b3e4f9afcc2ab8775f804f0a
Author: H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com>

    menu: Make "menu clear" the default
    
    Make "menu clear" the default... it was sort of implicitly so at least
    for vesamenu when using the old system, since we would end up zapping
    the mode when any output happened, but that no longer is the case.
    
    Also move the cursor to the top of the screen.

Ady, unless you know of a reason where this isn't wanted, I'm inclined
to just leave Peter's commit as-is.
