I do not think we are losing any information.
Say, we have a repo like this:
    test.git
     |-- untracked_file
     |-- untracked_bar
     |     |-- bar.txt
     |-- untracked_foo
           |-- foo.txt

The original version prints out:
  $ git clean -fn
  Would remove untracked_file
  Would not remove untracked_bar/
  Would not remove untracked_foo/

We never asked for any directories to be removed so IMHO the "Would
not remove ..." messages are just noise.

The new version prints out:
  $ git clean -fn
  Would remove untracked_file
