Turns out to be system-dependent. I built v1.7.3.3 from source on three
different boxes and only one of them is broken.
The /etc/redhat-release shows:
Broken:
Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)
Correct:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 6)
Fedora release 9 (Sulphur)
So I guess that means the problem is in some library that has most likely been
fixed since Fedora 6.

I can't reproduce. I did this:

That's running bleeding-edge git, like I always do, but the userdiff
stuff hasn't changed in ages.
What does
git config diff.html.wordregex
say on your system?
