Just stumbled accross your request while searching for something else.

If you are still interested in this feature (or anyone else): it got 
implemented for dia-0.97 as:

2009-03-24  Hans Breuer  <hans breuer org>

 * plug-ins/python/diastddia.py : almost finished, a bug left in Arc's
curve_distance calculation. Implemented the insane load/save property
name mapping - bug #576468, implmented draw_text and draw_arc. Some
comments on bezier related file format weakness.
Write some paper info; convert strings before writing to avoid
invalid XML (text and filename)

2009-03-23  Hans Breuer  <hans breuer org>

* plug-ins/python/diastddia.py : a new renderer implementation which
outputs Dia's native format, but restricted to "Standard - *"-objects.
Initial version: buggy and incomplete (e.g. bug #576468).

Note: it is inluded in the tarball but not installed.
