Looking at the code, I think it's impossible, and one would have to add
a new --diff-filter letter. However, at the very least, the
documentation should clarify this situation. The --diff-filter
explanation says:

  Select only files [...] have their type (mode) changed (T) [...]

which to me indicates that your test case should work.
