 * Mmmm... I noticed that if I have RELENG_3 checked out and try a diff
 * against HEAD, it won't show anything. Could this be related (or is
 * just a case of me having to do my homework)?

This never worked on CVS.  "HEAD" could mean quite a few different
things depending on context (for instance, if you have RELENG_3
checked out, then HEAD means the head of RELENG_3, not the real
"head").

I attempted to fix it a long time ago in src/contrib/cvs/src/diff.c
(rev 1.2) but had to back it out after realizing what a quagmire it's
down there.
