This is a shortcoming of the UI. Ideally, the action shown in your video would trigger a re-diff of the function in question. But since we only have a one-way communication between the UI and the BinDiff engine, all the UI does is kind of a best-effort match/unmatch.
The actual textual diff is correct in a way, as the addresses are different on both sides. But I agree that we can to better here.
