vim not echoing message after make

Consider a the following minimal vimrc:

set nocompatible

filetype plugin indent on
let g:tex_flavor = 'latex'

function! CompileLatex()
    let save_pwd = getcwd()
    lcd %:p:h
    let compiler = 'pdflatex '
    let mainfile = expand('%:p:r')
    let &l:makeprg = compiler . mainfile . '.tex'
    echon "compiling latex file..."
    silent make!
    execute 'lcd ' . save_pwd
endfunction

function! EchoLatexMessage()
    redraw
    echo 'This message is not shown'
endfunction

augroup echo_message
    au!
    au QuickFixCmdPost make call EchoLatexMessage()
augroup END

And in a foo.tex file like:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Foo
\end{document}

run :call CompileLatex(). As seen in the GIF the message This message is not shown from function EchoLatexMessage() is not shown (on the other hand the message compiling latex file... is always on screen). Why is this happening? I expect the new message to be echoed once :make finishes.

This is because of the silent make! in your function. The :silent apparently not only applies to the :make itself, but also to the autocmds invoked by it (which sort of makes sense). If you want to silence the compilation output itself, but not the messages from the autocmd, you can prepend :unsilent to :echo in the EchoLatexMessage() function.
