Hmm, I still get a hex diff with the test case I posted in the bug:

$ echo foo > foo
$ xz -0 < foo > foo.0.xz
$ xz -9 < foo > foo.9.xz
$ diffoscope foo.0.xz foo.9.xz
--- foo.0.xz
+++ foo.9.xz
│┄ Format-specific differences are supported for XZ compressed files but no file-specific differences were detected; falling back to a binary diff. file(1) reports: XZ compressed data, checksum CRC64
