To clarify: the first warning I see (FSlint 2.42 in Precise) is
 "Are you sure you want to delete these 2 items?"

The second warning (repeated for each hash for which all files are deleted) is
 "Are you sure you want to delete all items in this group?"

And it seems that nothing is deleted until all that question has been answered for each hash for which the entire group of files with that hash are marked for deletion.

So I agree that providing more information in the latter message is a good idea. But for now users may be able to feel ok knowing that if they see the latter message more times than they expect, they can cancel it, and should look very carefully....

FWIW, I used this to make three sets of identical files for testing:

    for i in 1 2 ; do echo test > /tmp/$i/test.txt; echo test2 > /tmp/$i/test2; echo "test 3" > /tmp/$i/test3.txt;done
