I'm not entirely sure I understand why that's an issue, really.

I disagree with this warning. I don't think it is necessary at all. It can happen we have to change attributes to a certain string... it is then obvious we need to replace that string by the same string. It is expected that when working in that dialog, we have to be cautious, no matter what the change will be.

why?

if nobody sees a use case, i think that we can close this.
(it's stupid to replace some text by itself, but i don't see why a warning would be needed... the result will be what the user expects.)
