This only happens if you set the value to '-', which is the default value.

Umherirrender, I had trouble understanding your reproduction instructions,
sorry. Can you still reproduce this bug?

Comment 1 says the opposite of comment 0 and is wrong; example, just following the instructions: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Revision-info-current&oldid=505560579&uselang=it
This, however, is just the standard message flow, unless I'm missing something: if you want a customised message to work in all languages, you have to create it in all languages, otherwise the local message will be used because MediaWiki assumes you have a good reason to overwrite it. You may call this bug 1495 maybe, I don't understand the topic well enough to say.
The problem is that perhaps en.wiki does *not* have a good reason to add that horrible red warning?
