Agree, visiting here to report a similar request with this example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=470024993&oldid=469833887

Examples of issues that should have been noticed by the diff engine/formatter:

* Line starting "{{cquote|It is surprising" -- same or virtually same line
appears left and right, diff engine fails to match them with no obvious reason
why that should be. So they appear as a deletion + insertion, rather than shown
adjacent. Common problem.

* Same occurs lower down with line starting ":* Fibres from"

* Under heading "=== Subsequent events ===" -- a paragraph has been added
starting "An inquest into..." Surrounding text is unchanged. Instead of
recognizing this as a simple one-paragraph addition, it's treating it as a
removal of one paragraph and change to all text in all following paragraphs (ie
believes each para has changed when they have merely moved down one para
simultaneously due to the insertion). The last 2 paras in the section are then
treated as new insertions which they aren't.

* Line starting ": "I don't" edited to add a {{cquote| template. Instead of
recognizing the few extra characters diff treated it as a completely
substituted new paragraph.
