This problem exists since the introduction of this feature over three
years ago and apparently nobody complained so far. So I don't think it's
overly serious.

OTOH, depending on the change the produced diff can be totally wrong.
Found a good example: c5022f576aa583429c245054d8600564b788ff33
Compare "--color-words -U0" with "--color-words -U1".
