No, it's a different issue.

I have two use cases.
1) When using dired-diff (hit = in a dired buffer) diff-switches is not used.
2) Same is when using vc-diff (C-x v =) in a VC buffer.
Apparently case 2) is a bug, because the docs of vc-diff-switches says
that diff-switches should be used. Case 1) could simply be unexpected
behaviour.
