As an alternative to my patch, the color coding could be changed. The beginning of a chunk is now marked with a faint bluish color (the part that looks like "@@ -42,9 +43,8 @@").

Giving the "Stage this hunk..." prompt some noticeable color (such as red), could make it easier to the see beginning of the hunk. Or simply doing a form-feed (but I suppose not everyone would like that).
