I'm also experiencing the same problem having just upgraded to Meld 1.1.5.1 (Hardy) from 1.1.4 (Feisty).
This is a serious bug for me as I rely on Meld extensively and need to trust that it will show me all of the changes. So I have now reverted back to 1.1.4 and it's working fine again for me.
This bug is also noted here on the gnome bugtracker:
