Something simple at the top of the page like:

"Your edit was NOT made.
If you wish to recover the changed text and/or edit summary, use you browsers
BACK button. If you wish to try make the edit again go BACK once more, refresh
and choose the same edit option again if it is still available. NB There was a
reason why to edit was not made."

 with the first sentence in red.

The last sentence can be updated to actually explain why the edit wasn't made
(null edit, etc) if and when it is known, and you have time to do it. The
notification of a change not made is the import thing.

The best example is anti-vandal fighting. Bots and people are likely to make
identical edits and, with the feature of Rollback jumping to the user's
contributions, you don't notice it wasn't your change that fixed the problem at
all. (Of course it normally doesn't matter who adds the {{subst:uw}} to the
user's talk page, but it would save time when otherwise a conflict or two
{{uw}]s eventually occur.)
