I think the highlighting is from flyspell mode.  
I just opened your file, and didn't get the red underlining that you
got.  Then I started flyspell mode, and the last `x' was highlighted,
just as in your screenshot.  'diff' wasn't highlighted, but then my
spellchecker claims that it's a word.  Perhaps we're using different
dictionaries. 

Note that in the screenshots, not the entire output is blue; I think
this is a problem that emacs has with font-locking multiple lines,
but I should look into it more.

The beeps after C-c C-u are troublesome, I haven't been able to
reproduce them.  Perhaps flyspell uses C-c C-u to do something to
misspelled words(?), I'll see if I can track down the problem.
