Yes, I already noticed that.  Some (all?) routines from LYLocal.c which
implement the different dired actions return to the LYMainLoop a number
which indicates on how many files they have acted.  If that number is 0,
because the command(s) was (were) unsuccessful, the LYMainLoop doesn't
know that it has to refresh the screen.

Keep those reports coming, I finally may get around to improve the patch..
For now you will have to use ^W to refresh the screen manually.
