Hmm, judging from
http://live.gnome.org/Dia

the answer is that .dia files aren't meant to be human readable but only
to be a storage format for WYSIWYG editing. I find this less than
thrilling: it essentially means you *can't* edit the images any other
way than using dia. (I'd bet a nickel that any small change results in
massive changes in the file contents, too, which will be un-fun for
keeping them in a VCS.)
