It doesn't.  It could, but I'm not sure that's the right fix.

Bundle Buggy doesn't currently support that, but you can publish a
branch and send a merge directive instead of a bundle.

I think this is more a bug in the bundle format.  Everything after the
first patch should be compressed.

NNTP and IMAP both allow the user to avoid downloading messages they are
not interested in.

IMHO, that is a severe problem.  A merge request should include a diff
that should what would happen if the request was applied.
