I'm closing this >3 years old bug as it was reported against Tex Live
2017, and Guix is now using 2019, which surely includes the above fix.

Closing.

Thanks for the report,

Since Perl 5.26.0, braces in RegExps have to be escaped if one wants
Perl to match these literally.

However, texlive@2017 --- from June 4th, 2017 --- doesn't implement the
fix made to latexdiff ([1][2]) --- made into TeX Live repository in June
26th, 2017.

Without the fix, `latexdiff' command is unable to work (its goal is to
generate "TeX-command-and-group-aware" differences between LaTeX
documents).
