Reverted to [prev] diffutils v.2.8.7-2 and this strange contradiction went away (that is: all files, however accessed, were shown as identical using diff -s, as they should be). Upgraded, again, to [curr] diffutils v.2.9-1 and the problem came back: identical files were reported to be different, using diff -s.
