Thanks for the explanation. This seems to give the desired diff with charjunk=None passed to multiline string comparison helper. I am not sure how useful it would be to pass it to sequence and dict comparison that also use ndiff. I can open a PR if it's okay with the set of strings in the report as a test case. There are no test case failures in existing unittest folder test suite so this seems like a safe change to me.
# With patch charjunk=None
