Thanks. This sounds like Bug#16848, which was fixed in February after the latest diffutils release.
It looks different to me. In the case I reported, diff never shows inserting and removing the same line next to itself.
Can you build a copy of diffutils from the git repository and try it out?
After about 20 minutes of chasing build dependencies, I timed out with a compile error about set_binary_mode. To reproduce what I reported, one only has to run the short shell script I included, so perhaps someone with a working dev build could try that?
