bug in "git diff -w" output?

hi all

i'm not sure i understand the output of "git diff -w" in the example below. to my eye, it seems incorrect around lines 53 and 54.

this example was done using the git version which originally introduced the -w and -b flags to diff. the "dirty" in the version is a modified prefix in Makefile. similar output is generated by the latest git version 1.4.3.rc2.ge19ff.
