Hi. These are intentional. Justification:

When you're at the beginning of the buffer, you're logically already at
the first hunk. A justification of THIS is that if you try to apply the
hunk at point from beginning-of-buffer (C-c C-a) then the first hunk is
applied, and the point moves to the second hunk. This is the behavior
both before and after my changes.

I think the changes make diff-mode more consistent. If you disagree,
let's move the discussion to emacs-devel.
