Appears to be a problem with trying to add a new text editor to a pane. I have filed https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/12963 as a result.

You can work around this by manually setting up 2 ~~editors~~ tabs side by side and then turning on split-diff.

I’m actively looking into the issue. Sorry about this everyone 😞
