I made an example project to show this. It may be related to having a hier block, or having some duplicate ref des in two instances of the same hier block.

Anyway, please open the schematic and run annotation. You will see:
Error: Multiple item R1 (unit 1)
Error: Multiple item R1 (unit 1)
Error: Multiple item R2 (unit 1)
Error: Multiple item R2 (unit 1)

Nothing mentioned about U1. Correct or delete one of the resistors at the top level and then you'll see more errors (including U1).

As stated above, it's unclear to me why all errors would not be shown but having at least more than 4 displayed would be helpful in the situation I described above.
