Then turn off cursorline in diff mode. You could even make your own commands if it bothers you too much, to do both the diff command and the cursorline together:

command! -bar -nargs=1 -complete=file DiffSplit setl nocursorline | diffsplit <args> | setl nocursorline
command! -bar DiffThis setl nocursorline | diffthis
command! -bang -bar DiffOff call DoDiffOff(<bang>0)

function! DoDiffOff(bang)
if a:bang
diffoff!
windo if &diff | setl cursorline | endif
else
diffoff
setl cursorline
endif
endfun

The point is, there was NO way to show cursorline in a diff window. Now you can see cursorline in a diff window also. You can always turn cursorline off, on the other hand, if you don't want to see it.

In fact the Vim help recommends not keeping it on all the time anyway (well, technically it just says it will slow your Vim down).
