Sounds like a flaw in the underlying diff code in subversion (not the
binary diffing code, but the actual code that produces the unified
diff output you see), to work around it, you might try using
--diff-cmd to point to some other diff (GNU diff probably), and see if
that works. In any event, if you can reproduce the problem in a test
case I'd suggest filing a bug about it (including a reproduction
recipie and a reference to this email thread).
