There's a bug in the docstring of ediff-diff-options: it only mentions "-c"
as not allowed, but -u is not allowed either IIUC.  These options are those
used internally by ediff to compute the highlighting and things like that.
The options that affect the display of patches are configured in another
variable.  I believe it's ediff-custom-diff-options.
