My question was really meant to be rhetorical. The only marginally reliable answer at this point is "Eventually."
Oh, believe me, I completely understand your pesimism. However, with the X1 planned to be released at it's mid-life point, there isn't a lot of time left for BMW to bring the diesel option if they say they are... 3-4yrs before the next gen is released. So I would think sooner rather than later. But as you said, with the track record so far about releasing this car, it's better to keep expectations low and hopefully be pleasantly surprised.
