It seems the bzr vc backend needs the same treatment.

When `vc-diff' reports that there are no differences, then vc
displays the *vc-diff* buffer with a single line in it:

  No changes between working revision and workfile.

bzr's behavior differs from the git backend that doesn't display the
*vc-diff* buffer.  It displays this line only in the echo area.

I understand that there is such a difference between bzr and git
vc backends because bzr is slower than git and so needs man.el-like
behavior that waits for the completion of the asynchronous process.
