I think this is where the line has changed relative to the base, but
both mine and theirs have the *same* change relative to base, so there
is no conflict.

Did you get this when resolving conflicts from the context menu in the
update progress dialog or from the explorer context menu, Edit
conflicts? Or Check for Modifications, or somewhere else?
