This is no good; there's no good reason for Dired to override the global binding for M-=, which is count-words-region. If there are no objections, I will simply unbind dired-backup-diff, and improve the behavior of = (dired-diff) so that it uses any existing backup file as the minibuffer input default, like M-x diff does.
