We have the exact same problem with our live 3.1.2 site (previously 
migrated from 2.5.3).

The "compare to previous version" does nothing.

It works fine in a fresh Plone site. If I copy portal_diff from that 
site to a copy of our live site, that still doesn't work.(In our 
portal_diff we have all the diff types set to "Compound Diff for AT 
Types", it looks pretty much the same as the configuration of a fresh 
site + 3rd-party products)

My best guess is, this is broken by either a missing step in migration, 
or, some bad interaction with a 3rd-party product (we have PloneSurvey, 
PloneFormGen, ZWiki, Ploneboard, SimpleBlog, CacheFu, windowZ, 
FeedMixer, ATFlashMovie and our own products).

You might try this in a fresh Plone site and compare to your live site.

What 3rd-party products do you have and what is your site's migration 
history?

Regards,
Nick
