Was this buffer empty?  If so, that's arguably the source of the problem.
It should normally start with a content along the lines of "Summary:\nAuthor:\n\n".

The *vc-log* buffer nowadays uses an rfc822-style format, so the
reverse-video line you saw was the representation of the separator
between the header and the body.
