The problem lies not with 'update'. The problem is that there's no way to refer within other commands (specifically 'diff') to the commit that 'update' (with no VERSION argument) would update to. In the above example, I would like there to be some alias "update-target" that would resolve to d83fc58dead2d03428a763b0890b8b5fbffb7957 (not actually suggesting that as a name, there's probably a better name for it), so that I could do "fossil diff --from current --to update-target".
