Hm.  I think maybe you're right.  I haven't dug into it well
(hope someone will), but it looks like `dired-do-create-files'
no longer calls `dired-log-summary' or `dired-log' for the
actual file creation (it does so for regexp-match problems and
file-date errors).  Maybe it does indirectly somewhere -
didn't spend a lot of time looking into it.

`dired-do-copy' used to do so.  Other `dired-do-*' commands
do so, and it too should, I think.  It looks like this
functionality was lost in Emacs 24, when Emacs added
`dired-do-create-files'.  If so, not good, IMO.

No call to dired-log*' means no echo of the possibility
of using `?' to see the Dired log.
