Well, thanks to Pat's swift production of a new version of
fermilab-conf_doe-banner-console (followed by another cycle of yum
install and yum remove by me), the text has now been deleted from
/etc/motd.

Unfortunately, the threatening-sounding message is still appearing at
boot time.  Digging a little deeper, I think this may be because

yum install fermilab-conf_doe-banner-login-screen

writes the relevant text into
</usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled>, and a subsequent

yum remove fermilab-conf_doe-banner-login-screen

doesn't remove the text from that file.  Pat, I think you're the
maintainer of that package too, right?  Any chance of a similar fix
there, please?
