There probably isn't one. The list comes from this line:

   comm -23 INDEX-PRESENT.flist INDEX-NEW.flist > files.removed

so, by the look of it, there's just an extra newline in
INDEX-PRESENT.flist. 


If you want to debug it I'd start by taking a copy of the files:
INDEX-PRESENT, INDEX-NEW, INDEX-PRESENT.flist and INDEX-NEW.flist.
