Spent the last hour stepping through the code until I realized: that's
the correct behavior.

Since my.txt is empty, all lines are actually in conflict.
Have a look at the image here:
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseMerge_en/tmerge-basics-conflicts.html

the TMerge views are shown like this:
left view : diff between "theirs" and "base"
right view: diff between "mine" and "base"
But this is shown the same way as "one pane view" in two-file diff mode.

I'm not sure what you expect TMerge to show instead? Do you have a
screenshot of another diff/merge tool that does this better?
