Cancelled copies marked 'C' in Dired

[Sven Joachim]

Suppose there are two Dired buffers, say ~/foo and ~/bar, which look
as follows:

  /home/sven/foo:
  total used in directory 16 available 2005008
  drwxr-xr-x  2 sven sven 4096 Nov  4 08:18 .
  drwxr-xr-x 51 sven sven 4096 Nov  4 08:16 ..
  -rw-r--r--  1 sven sven    9 Nov  4 08:18 a
  -rw-r--r--  1 sven sven    5 Nov  4 08:18 b
  --------------------------------------------
  /home/sven/bar:
  total used in directory 12 available 2005008
  drwxr-xr-x  2 sven sven 4096 Nov  4 08:26 .
  drwxr-xr-x 51 sven sven 4096 Nov  4 08:16 ..
  -rw-r--r--  1 sven sven    7 Nov  4 08:19 a

Now I decided to copy ~/foo/[ab] to ~/bar, i.e. marked the files and
pressed 'C'.  The prompt

Overwrite `/home/sven/bar/a'? [Type yn!q or C-h] 

came, I answered 'n' and got the message

Copying error for /home/sven/foo/a:
(file-already-exists File already exists /home/sven/bar/a)

So far, so good, but the Dired buffer for ~/bar now looks:

  /home/sven/bar:
  total used in directory 12 available 2005008
C -rw-r--r--  1 sven sven    5 Nov  4 08:18 b
C -rw-r--r--  1 sven sven    7 Nov  4 08:19 a
  drwxr-xr-x  2 sven sven 4096 Nov  4 08:26 .
  drwxr-xr-x 51 sven sven 4096 Nov  4 08:16 ..

The file ~/bar/a is incorrectly marked as copied.
