Not offering a solution, as a quick test or two in my environment do
not reproduce this problem [*].  But instead of the above command,
which will show matches on any line that has "diff" in the "-p"
output, perhaps

    $ git stash show --stat

is easier to see?

Are there configuration variables set to affect the behaviour of the
"git stash" command in your environment that I do not have (I have
nothing in "git config -l | grep stash" output), which may be
affecting why it does not reproduce for me?

[Footnote]

* Admittedly I didn't recall we had pathspec support to "git stash
  push" so consider me no longer an expert in this area ;-).
