With the way the ford IDS works they are pretty much telling you the truth. There are 2 options in their system; they can either reprogram or reinstall. On the reprogram side, it checks the strategy to see if there is an upate. No update, it will not reprogram. They could probably trick it to think a new ECU has been installed but I doubt they will do that or be able to figure it out.
I am sure the diablo works pretty much like ours. It doesn't change the base strategy code of the vehicle. It makes changes to tables, but to ford programming it still looks like a standard ford strategy even if it is programmed with a performance file.
There are probably recovery measures with diablo to where they can force a stock file.
