Bait and Switch (Once per round, when this character is targeted by a nonadjacent enemy, he may switch positions with a Medium Fringe ally within 6 squares with a save of 11. That ally becomes the target instead, and the enemy cannot be prevented from attacking it this turn.)
If the character that is switched has the Diplomat ability, does it temporarily lose the ability, thus enabling the enemy character to target the diplomat ( even with los to the non-diplomat )?

Doesn't lose the ability, but it happens after the target has been already been chosen, and the attacker doesn't have to target again. The new character automatically becomes the target, regardless of targeting rules (bypassing Diplomat, Cloaked, etc).
This is the same as the ruling for Decoy abilities.

Interesting. On a side note I finally realized why a post like "Bait & Switch" looks like "Bait & Switch" on the main page.
