OK, below is a patch that fixes the color issues I was having.

OK. In that case, we need a way for the plumbing to tell the diff
machinery "don't ever try loading the ui config."

Agreed.

I don't personally use this, so I don't care too much. But I am inclined
to say low-level since it cannot break the patch (and it will be used
and presented by porcelains like "git add -i").

Definitely low-level IMHO, since we have porcelain which relies on the
low-level's output (and there is no way to set it manually from the
command line).
Patch to add diff_basic_config infrastructure and fix the color
selection issue is below. It just does the color, but we can move other
stuff over as discussion ensues.

add a "basic" diff config callback
The diff porcelain uses git_diff_ui_config to set
porcelain-ish config options, like automatically turning on
color. The plumbing specifically avoids calling this
function, since it doesn't want things like automatic color
or rename detection.
However, some diff options should be set for both plumbing
and porcelain. For example, one can still turn on color in
git-diff-files using the --color command line option. This
means we want the color config from color.diff.* (so that
once color is on, we use the user's preferred scheme), but
_not_ the color.diff variable.
We split the diff config into "ui" and "basic", where
"basic" is suitable for use by plumbing (so _most_ things
affecting the output should still go into the "ui" part).
