You could avoid such problem by creating a dired buffer with _only_ the
files you want to modify (helm allows this), then switch to wdired-mode
and do your modifications.
Probably implementing this in dired (i.e. open a new dired buffer with
only marked files) would be a good addition.
Note: Only Emacs-30 (see commit 66040fbeed2) allow this,
Emacs-28 dired doesn't support a list of files.
