I've occasionally hacked this by inserting a unique tag (usually just
an incrementing number) after each line in the file, something like

:windo g/^/put='Unique line: '.((line('.')/2)+1)

which gives fixed boundaries for the diff algorithm to sync up with
after every line.

It's a hack, and it's far from perfect, but it's helped in the couple
occasions I've wanted it.
