IMO that would constitute unnecessary noise. That would be the case even if it just said part of that. But it would be especially noisy to include not only mark and flag tallies but also file sizes. We echo the result of an actual action (e.g. "Copy: 1 file"). I don't think it would be a good idea to echo (un)marking or (un)flagging actions. In any case, that would not substitute for having a tally of marks and flags shown constantly, which you can refer to at any time.
