Well dang. That does work. I misread/misunderstood the text at :help 'diff' which says that the setting is "local to window". In my (mis-conceived) tests, opening a new vim window (:sp) from a diff'ed window resulted in a windo that had 'diff' set, leading me to (mis-)understand "window" as a vim-session not a vim-window. Had I properly tested, I would have noticed that after a ":sp" on a diffed window, I could then :set nodiff on one of those and it was in fact scoped to a vim-window not a vim-session. Reading up at ":help start-vimdiff" it does indeed say that "Diffs are local to the current tab page" which is exactly what I wanted and just failed to find/understand.
