How about "expected decrease in indentation"? Though I think dedent (or mabye outdent) is pretty obvious in context. Also "decrease in indentation does not match any outer level" is a pretty hefty error message. Still, these things are so much better than the status quo that I'm about +1e8 on the general idea...
