1) Configure a generic device to sync one playlist.
2) On Summary, verify sufficient space: http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3519/regionyg.png
3) Click auto-sync

Observed: dialog "There isn't enough space on the device to synchronize selected files. Would you like to continue?"

Workaround: click OK.

There were only the files that MM auto-sync had previously put on the device. But I accept that report does not show that. Can you suggest a way to show that?

I am assuming that MM UI "media files" includes everything MM would put on the device.

No, but you didn't mention that earlier. I'd just take your word for it.

True! Thanks for catching this dependency

No ... I'd just take your word for it.

For a solid report, I'd like better than my word
