They are, but the output in that buffer is just raw bytes -- no matter
whether the output is from stderr or stdout.  There must be a decoding
thing that takes place later, but I'm still looking for where that
happens.  (I'm wholly unfamiliar with the ediff code.)

When I've found that, the fix would be to apply whatever it's doing to
the error buffer, too...
