I just discovered this bug is actually caused by #510629 (arg parsing
broken on 64 bits). 

The ultimage cause is that mincheader calls 

  dumpfile=`mincexpand $1 $tmpfile -name_only $header_opts`

expecting a single line of output.  However, the -name_only option is
ARGV_CONSTANT and $header_opts may contain -header_only (another
ARGV_CONSTANT) causing the -name_only variable to be overwritten back
to 0.  This prints an extra line containing "Original" or "Temporary".

The script mincdiff uses mincexpand and mincheader.
