Hi, thank you for your well documented test.  I think the bug is fixed
now in CVS.  See

http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/rdiff_backup/selection.py.diff?r2=1.41&r1=1.40&diff_format=u

for the patch.  Note in your test, one of the lines had a trailing
space, which probably caused some confusion also.  I'm unsure if it's
a bug for rdiff-backup to interpret a space literally (especially a
trailing one) but that behavior isn't changed by this patch, so be
careful about that.
