(For context: this was commit 8232325337 "Handle case where a face's :extend attribute is unspecified (Bug#37774)".) I think there might have been a regression since this commit: in-between 1c29ba0340 (2019-11-17) and 21790e5473 (2019-12-05), something caused the backgrounds to no longer extend for faces with unspecified :extend inheriting faces with :extend t. The attached theme sets :extend t for diff-{added,removed}, and sets :inherit (diff-…) for ediff-fine-diff-{A,B}.
