I'm running a later GNU diff that works as I expect it should (modulo
the localization bug in the current tla release candidate).

Also the (not quoted) change message that you cited -- that appears to
be a bsd-specific change (it would be a change that is one reason
you need to separately install a recent GNU diffutils and use the
--with-gnu-diff and --with-gnu-diff3 configure options).

(But as I write this, we're also discussing on #arch so we'll see for
certain soon, hopefully.....)
