The way i understand my example is as follows:

1) An user compare current buffer (buf-a) with file-b.
;; buf-a content: boo
;; file-b content: foo
;; they are different: new faces shown their differences.

2) The user update buf-a and perform a new comparison with file-b.
;; buf-a content: foo
;; file-b content: foo
;; same content, but is not obvious because the result of the
;; previous comparison is not removed.

My point is: why don't we perform a fresh comparison in 2?
