Good news: MC already does this. But it doesn't repaint the panel, so
you don't see anything happening there.
I wrote little snippet for mc^2 to repaint the screen as files get unmarked:

(You can also drag the progress dialog to see the file list beneath.)

I know this feature from Dos Navigator. Seeing this was a huge wonder
for me. Like seeing Wolfenstein 3D for the 1st time. I was a teenager
in school back then and I couldn't understand how text partially
obscured by the dialog above it (the progress dialog) could change. It
even worked when the shadow of the dialog fell on it!
