If you are curious, you can run strace on it (i.e. change 'mesg y' to
'strace -f -o /tmp/mesg-y-strace-out mesg y') and see what files it
tries to open etc.
Still, to me it looks like distro-specific problem. What distribution
are you using?

It is probably called from one of user's login scripts (/etc/bashrc, /etc/bash_login, /etc/profile or something like that, or their ~/. analogs). This programs is _possibly_ SGID to group tty (run 'ls -l $(which mesg)' to check that), and tries to change the mode of one or several above mentioned files. Since files doesn't belong to group tty, mesg complains.
