I should have checked: on the web version the confirmation is "Talk:Foo and its associated page have been..." so probably mobile should be consistent.

From the screenshot, it looks like this might be an issue with the Wikipedia mobile app on Android; and (at a search) I can find what seem to be matching message strings in the Android app's codebase.
It looks like this task might have unintentionally been sorted into an incorrect project; apologies for that.
