bug#47505: 25.1; ediff thinks words changed when filling prefixed

[Samuel Wales]

to reproduce, please put this in file a:

# asdfjkansdkljfan ksd fnak nsdflkadsnfkansdkfnakdsnf
# aklsfdnakljfnsdkasdnfja sdn fkljad nsfkj ansdkfn aksdjfna
# ksjfndk ajdnsf kajsndkfjansdkfjn ja nsdkjfn askdj fnakjs fdnakj
# nsdfkaj dns

then set fill-column to 60.  then fill.  then save to file b.

you now have a and b with the same text, but a filled commented
paragraph that differs between them.

now open in diff mode.  you will notice that it thinks only the comments
changed.  this is expected behavior.

now open with m-x ediff RET.  it thinks the first word in the last line
in b is different.  but it is not different.

best i can do for a bug report.  thanks.
