That should be a problem due to a piece of code that remained from the 
pstricks plugin for image inclusion in the first patch.
Now I deleted it. There is absolutely no \pscustom code in the PGF plugin.

It should be  sufficient to include the tikz package.

OK, I now made a version with escaped text, like in pstricks, but with 
some latex language fixed.
patch is here: http://home.arcor.de/kirmse/dia/escapedText.patch

However I will keep using the unescaped version for myself, since I just 
want dia to place the latex code at the right coordinates. But I can 
conceive, that it is better to escape for a release.

Have a look at the results of render-test.dia: 
http://home.arcor.de/kirmse/dia/render-test.ps
I added all the escaped characters to the test-file as well

Latex compiled with just these additional lines:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tikz}
