I agree that just shouting "on your left" can be confusing and can actually cause the pedestrian to drift into the path of the oncoming bike.

I've noticed a similar problem when I'm biking - if I turn my head to the left to check to my rear, I tend to drift to the left and possibly into the path of a faster biker who is overtaking me. For this reason, I always look to the right when I'm checking to my rear.
