I can confirm the first aspect of the bug for Natty - there is an "are you sure" confirmation dialog about doing a read-write test, but no hint as to whether it is destructive, or how it would manage to avoid overwriting real files. I assume it needs to have a good understanding of the file system in order to do that, but of course the file system could be new or experimental, so some clarity would help. I haven't tried Oneiric, but I doubt it has changed since I see no related bug in the gnome bugzilla:
