I agree that the dialog's current message maybe isn't the best. A new
string however should somehow describe that when the question is
answered with yes then
* all content of to be merged cells will be removed
* all content will be concatenated
* this new concatenated content will be placed into the first cell of
  the merged cells

"merge contents of all cells" lacks information, my suggestion would be

"Should the contents of all merged cells be concatenated and moved into the first cell?

What do you think?
