Getting an odd diff

[Jack Adrian Zappa <adrianh.bsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, I have a regex to select words so that I can focus on the actual
changes.  But then I noticed that it did something weird.  It grouped
some parenthesis with another word.  I generated a minimal example for
that line and it was reproducible.

Before:
var result = ((res.State == ResultState.Succeeded) &&
string.IsNullOrEmpty(res.ErrorCode) )? (byte)0 : (byte)1;

After:
var result = res.State == ResultState.Succeeded ? (byte)0 : (byte)1;

Diff:
$ git diff2 --no-index b a
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in b.

+++ b/a
@@ -1 +1 @@
var result = [-((res-]{+res+}.State == ResultState.Succeeded[-) &&
string.IsNullOrEmpty(res.ErrorCode) )-] ? (byte)0 : (byte)1;

I tried to make a smaller example and it didn't cause the issue.

Before:
var abc = ((xyz.Stuff == other_stuff) && stuff.yay(question) ? yes : no;

After:
var abc = xyz.Stuff == other_stuff ? yes : no;

var abc =[-((-] xyz.Stuff == other_stuff[-) && stuff.yay(question)-] ? yes : no;

So, my question is, what's going on here?

The alias is as follows:
     diff2 = diff --color=always --ignore-space-change
'--word-diff-regex=((\\r\\n?|\\n\\r?)[\\t
]*)?([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*|0([xX]([0-9][a-fA-F])+|[0-7]+|[bB][01]+)|[1-9][0-9]*(\\.[0-9]+)?([eE][0-9]+|[pP][0-9a-fA-F])?|\\S)(\\r\\n?|\\n\\r?)?'
-p
