Yea, don't worry about that, I won't be applying any patch to git-gui
that feeds data to git-apply with --undiff-zero.  Not unless its
completely bullet-proof that the hunk headers will *never* be wrong.

I'd rather always apply with context and let git-apply do its thing
to validate the hunks.  If you can get the hunk headers computed
right you can also get the context computed right, which means
git-apply can actually verify the patch can be applied, thus double
checking the splitter.
