I can confirm the first aspect of the bug for Natty - there is an "are you sure" confirmation dialog about doing a read-write test, but no hint as to whether it is destructive, or how it would manage to avoid overwriting real files. I assume it needs to have a good understanding of the file system in order to do that, but of course the file system could be new or experimental, so some clarity would help. I haven't tried Oneiric, but I doubt it has changed since I see no related bug in the gnome bugzilla:

There is no warning / info if read / write tests are destructive or safe to be used on a live system. Green lines and dots at the bottom are confusing to the user and don't tell the user what they mean. Also , It would be awesome if there was some way that this info could be sent back to some database at ubuntu and users can see and compare what other users are getting..
