Don't think it is a bug. Text comparer shows fragments that are missing in other file while binary comparer always compares bytes at exact offsets (if you add a character into one of strings, binary comparer will show rest of file as difference because it doesn't allow shift).

Indeed it's not a bug: The text compare tool looks for inserted/removed characters within a string, while the binary compare looks for byte by byte differences (no re-sync).
