This is unfortunate.  FTR, I had to configure Sway to make the window
float by default:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# ediff should always be floating
for_window [title="Ediff"] {
    floating enable
    gap 0
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
