Summary :
Isn't "Should the contents of all cells be concatenated and moved

I like the following better:

Do you want to merge the contents of the selected cells into one
cell? Clicking 'No' will only retain the content of the upper-left
cell.

And I agree that the current message is very awkward.

Heh, having run into that message more than few times in the past month, I, too, agree about its awkwardness. One more suggestion from the peanut gallery:

Don't use "No" and "Yes", but rather something more action-oriented, like "Merge cells" and "Cancel". Jeff Waugh had an excellent presentation and visual (circa 2006/7) to show what the user sees, but of course my google is poor this evening. The summary is "The entire dialog box is blurred/not readable, and the only visible parts are the buttons; the user should still be able to discern what action each button executes."

That said, I'm clearly not a UI fella, and it was suggested elsewhere in this thread that this might be a UI issue ...

Cheers,

Kevin
