--- Comment #1 from Ed Maste <[email protected]> ---
BSD diff in HEAD does not emit the somewhat confusing error message, and as
described in the man page just skips the devices.

% man diff | grep -A2 'directory mode'
     directory are described as such.  In directory mode only regular files
     and directories are compared.  If a non-regular file such as a device
     special file or FIFO is encountered, a diagnostic message is printed.
% diff -qr dir1 dir2    
File dir1/a is not a regular file or directory and was skipped
