I can reproduce the problem. I put "pumpkin" in the Page field, and "gourds"
in the Search for field. Then I clicked the "11:54, 17 July 2010" diff link.

Perhaps the problem is that the diff links use the en.wikipedia.org hostname
and not www.wikipedia.org. I just tried again after installing the latest
version of HTTPS Everywhere, but it seems to still be happening. I don't
know why this should be, since the rule for Wikipedia would seem to handle
this.

I'll add a feature request: It would be nice if the Preferences window for
HTTPS Everywhere showed a list of text boxes containing the rewrite rules
(both the built-in ones and any user-added ones) instead of just text boxes.
