It does look like you have found a bug; `-w` and `--name-only` does
not seem to play nice together:

In the same vein, `-w` and `--name-status` doesn't seem to play well together
either:
~~~~
% git diff --name-status -w
M foo
~~~~
It also seems `-b` suffers from similar problems when combined with
`--name-{only,status}`.
