This is due to the way add--interactive invokes diff. It uses the plumbing commands (diff-tree, diff-files, etc), which do not respect config which changes the output (since their purpose is to provide stable machine-readable output). But add--interactive does a slightly funny thing: it runs each diff twice. Once to get the machine-readable version, and once to get a colorized version which it shows to the user. When it does the latter, it has to manually enable other options (e.g., passing --color as appropriate, or passing along diff.algorithm). So the matching behavior here would be for it to look as wsErrorHighlight and pass it along as a command line option. -Peff
