I'm not sure I understand what is very strange.
Perhaps nothing. Its just that textual variations was something which irked Origin:
The differences among the manuscripts have become great, either through the negligence of some copyists or through the perverse audacity of others; they either neglect to check over what they have transcribed, or, in the process of checking, they make additions or deletions as they please (Origen, Commentary on Matthew 15.14 as quoted in Bruce M. Metzger, "Explicit References in the Works of Origen to Variant Readings in New Testament manuscripts," in Biblical and Patristic Studies in Memory of Robert Pierce Casey, ed. J Neville Birdsall and Robert W. Thomson (Freiburg: Herder, 1968), 78—79; reference from Erhman, 223._
So I wouldn't have been surprised if he wan't irked enough by the variation between Luke and the Evangelion to at least mention it somewhere,

EDIT: wait, what? Origin actually *did* accuse Marcion of removing stuff from "the gospels"....just not specifically from Luke??
