All the tools I see which actually worked in those links you provided were GUI apps (including GVIM) or a brand new invocation of a terminal. Unison doesn't need a GUI app for its diff program, does it?

:help -f says that it only affects the GUI Vim, so the problem isn't forking. I wonder if Vim is having trouble detecting the right terminal? It looks like you tried -T "ansi", do you know this to be correct?

I almost never use Vim in a terminal, I almost always use gvim even on Linux, so I'm not going to be much further help here, sad to say.
