git-diff-index cannot detect that a file hasn't actually changed when the file's ctime has changed (e.g. if chmod was used but didn't actually result in any changes), which was causing setlocalversion to incorrectly add a -dirty tag. Run git-update-index beforehand to make sure that the index is correct.
