Yes, but it's Git that considers the file to be "binary". Emacs's VC 
probably can't do anything about that now.

Maybe the problem was created by Emacs when you were editing this file. 
Someone should investigate that, especially if you have a scenario how 
to produce a problematic file like that from scratch.
