This was actually the clue to fixing the issue — I don't think it wasn't
being found, but there was an exception being thrown that wasn't being
caught correctly.

After fixing this on the master branch, comparing the .jar files now in
without extracting them now correctly exposes the difference in BasePage.html.

I'll perform a new release of diffoscope presently.
