Ooh, good spot. Yes, javap seems to need the files to be called .class or it will just reject them. Okay, I've committed a patch that will rename non-.class files to .class and will release that in a few minutes.
Of course, this still may not result in diffoscope giving you a human-readable diff, but it will mean that it javap won't complain.
Best wishes,
