It definitely happens with plain libxdiff-0.17 too.

In general, unless it's related to the "\ No newline" or the extra stuff on the "@@"-line, I'd be very surprised if we have any differences in the diff output wrt libxdiff-0.17. I was really pretty careful, and didn't change the code at all, just removed unnecessary files and functions.
