Perhaps the difference in terminology used... Unload as in slip.

A one way will lock in the inner wheel during a turn on power and the other wheel (outer wheel) free wheels regardless of on power or off power.

Regardless of the above, how does having less droop in front make for the inside wheel unload (slip) less and hence give a more consistent turn circle? Unload (slip) less because less front droop prevents the front wheels from lifting off the track on power?
A one way will put power to a wheel when the drivetrain is faster than the wheel right?
Now if you are in a corner and apply power initially the inside wheel will be slowest so it gets powered and the outside won't. But when you turn the inside wheel gets less pressure and will start to slip, at that moment with a one way power will still go to the outside wheel. But with a diff if an inside wheel starts slipping (spinning) all power will go to that wheel (not taking limited slip diffs into account).
