Hi Kim, it works, but only when ido-show-dot-for-dired is nil.
The use case 
    (ido-everywhere 1)
    M-x diff RET
    RET for current buffer-file-name

Perhaps the solution is if default-filename is not nil, then
initially put it before "." even if ido-show-dot-for-dired.  Or
maybe diff-mode should let-bind ido-show-dot-for-dired nil.  

I guess one problem is read-file-name is overloaded for 2
different use cases: 1. read a file name (not a directory), and
2. read a file name or a directory name.  Separating
read-file-name into two functions or adding a flag indicating
intent would help.
