I should point out as a general piece of information concerning this feature is that it will represent a definitive change to the file format itself, which necessitates it waiting until version 5 as opposed to any earlier release.
Currently there are three line types in OmniGraffle: straight, orthogonal, and curvy. Adding bezier line types would either mean a fourth type of line, or we'd convert the current curvy type to bezier. In either case, a rather large decision must be made as to what to do with this new line type for users of previous versions of Graffle -- Convert to curvy? Represent it with a NURB?
As such, we feel it would be untoward to change the file format thusly in a point release, so it's just going to have to wait for OmniGraffle 5.
I'd like to also point out that you can get really nice arcs on lines right now by using the straight line type, 90 degree angles, and really big corner radii.
Cheers,
