Yes, but that is somewhat simpler to fix, since we know that they cannot
be part of the "git diff" output. That is, you can just append the "git
ls-files -v -o" output. Actually, since cached files use the 'H' tag
which doesn't conflict with git-diff, and since your goal was to combine
the multiple output anyway, I wonder if something like this would make
you happy:

  (
    git ls-files --exclude-standard -v -c -o &&
    git diff --name-status --cached
  ) |
  perl -e '
    my %h;
    while(<>) {
      chomp;
      my ($status, $name) = split / /, $_, 2;
      $h{$name} .= $status;
    }
    print "$h{$_} $_\n" foreach sort keys(%h);
  '

?

Personally, I find listing every cached file makes the output hard to
read, since any modified ones will be lost in the noise. But that is
what you said you wanted...
