sure, with enough shell code thrown at a problem, you can do anything.
 the change that started these warnings was for an unrelated check.
no one proposed warning on indented labels, nor is there any statement
at all in the coding style on these.

considering you highlighted the biggest reason (diff by default does
not handle them properly), i think that invalidates against your "no
sane reason" statement.
