I think you're using the diversion wrong.

Diversions are meant for storing *formatted* text. If you're not
replaying the diversion in no-fill mode (and you're not), you
will get all sorts of problems with spaces from indents.
(And line-numbering is also something that happens during
formatting.)

It is possible that the solution better suited to your purposes
(you might provide some explanation what you're trying to achieve)
is storing unformatted text in a macro, like thus:

  Text before macro.
  Text before macro.
  .de my_macro
  Stored text.
  Stored text.
  Stored text.
  ..
  .my_macro
  Text after macro.
  Text after macro.

If that's not what you're trying to do, you can switch to a
different environment for the diversion.  Since numbering is
associated with the environment, the diversion will then not
be line-numbered by default.
