Thanks! It was a curious bug: one would expect that some highlighting's 
boundaries might change. What changed, however, is one's _type_.

I've pushed a fix, and I'll let the Flymake's maintainer sort out at his 
leisure whether flymake-diag-region can be relied on not to change match 
data, as several of its clients seem to assume.

Some of us are spoiled enough to expect an email from the CI when some 
breakage occurs.

(Sorry.)
