I think you're right.  It looks to me like what's happening is that diff
only interprets HEAD as the head of the current branch if the file has
actually been checked in on the branch; if the file has been branched
but hasn't actually been checked in on the branch, HEAD is interpreted
as the head of the trunk instead of the branch point.
