I don't imagine it'd take very long at all to implement but the problem of course is that we really should think carefully how we go about doing this. If we can detect this at runtime we probably should. I'm not sure what platform you're on but using the GUI version of vimdiff would get around this for you in the meantime. You'll end up with one vimdiff window per file. On the Mac for instance all I did was symlink mvimdiff to mvim (which is essentially equivalent to gvim on other platforms) and then change the wrapper to use that instead of vimdiff. I realize it's not ideal but it should give you almost the same functionality that you had before.
