Mine says "Computing differences between ediff8521EBL and ediff8521RLR
..." when I run it on two random non-saved buffers.

"Computing differences between files.el and ChangeLog ..." when running
on two saved buffers.

But, yeah, it would make more sense if it gave the buffer names instead
of the temporary file names in this scenario, I guess.
