The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

The compare tool doesn't compare characters at their exact positions in a line, it finds inserted and deleted characters. The 08 in the lower file must be matching another 08 to the left or right of the visual area of the upper file.
