I don't know those parts very well, but it seems that the patch below
might make sense.

I have a hard time believing that we've lived with such a bug for so
many years, but this makes the code agree with the comment, and if you
look at the diagram before the function, I think the comment is right
and the code is wrong.

Just to clarify the crucial part of the patch is:

-  interval->total_length -= B->total_length - LEFT_TOTAL_LENGTH (interval);
+  interval->total_length -= B->total_length - TOTAL_LENGTH (c);
