I couldn't find information about whether the -solo feature is
available in all Beyond Compare versions.
At the least I can say that it is available in version 3 for Windows,
since that is the version that we're using.

This issue does not occur when using the normal difftool (command: git
difftool), which is odd and indicates that something must be wrong in
either Git or Beyond Compare.
