I think the culprit is in
commit ca557afff9f7dad7a8739cd193ac0730d872e282

Clean-up trivially redundant diff.
Also corrects the line numbers in unified output when using
zero lines context.

Note how (for some reason I don't quite understand yet) "correcting"
the offsets involves subtracting 1 if there were no changes on that
side.
But skipping ahead to the end doesn't work if there are several such
instances where nothing was added. So I think it must be fixed as
follows.
