Try running the test with "-i -v", and it will pass, if I am right. I actually made a patch for GNU diff back when this hit me, only to find out that it was fixed in CVS. Apparently, for a short period, during which 2.8.1 was released, there was a bug that prevented GNU diff from working properly when the output was redirected to a non-tty. If I'm right, and it is that bug, it might be worthwhile to convert the calls to "diff -u" in that test script with calls to "git diff" (possibly with --no-index).
