That's not an easter egg, it's documented:

+--- Description for editors/emacs20 (emacs-20.7):
| GNU Emacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
| display editor.
|
| Users new to Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
| by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
| Emacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser.  It is easily
| extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
|
| GNU Emacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and
| sending (Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile),
| running subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp
| read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy
| (Doctor :-) and many more.
