Eek.  Manual labour!

I hacked up this beautiful, beautiful function instead:

(global-set-key
 [(hyper e)]
 (lambda ()
   (interactive)
   (save-some-buffers t)
   (when (get-buffer "*vc-dir*")
     (kill-buffer (get-buffer "*vc-dir*")))
   (vc-dir "~/src/emacs/trunk")
   (goto-char (point-min))
   (while (not (search-forward "edited" nil t))
     (sit-for 0.01))
   (beginning-of-line)
   (while (search-forward "edited" nil t)
     (vc-dir-mark)
     (beginning-of-line))
   (vc-diff nil)
   (other-window 1)))
