So the problem is that you don't get the message about no following
undeleted message?  Or is something else the problem?

Regarding the lack of message, I'm not sure this is a bug: since you
set rmail-output-reset-deleted-flag non-nil, Rmail no longer tries to
get to the next undeleted message, it instead gets to the next
message, whether deleted or not.  The doc string of rmail-output says:

  Optional prefix argument COUNT (default 1) says to output that
  many consecutive messages, starting with the current one (ignoring
  deleted messages, unless `rmail-output-reset-deleted-flag' is
  non-nil).         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  ^^^^^^^

Why it is a problem for you that Rmail goes to the very next message
in this situation?
