As I was told, once the diamond undergoes the treatment, it requires re-polishing because the stone gets etched in the process. If the diamond survives the treatment and the treatment is openly disclosed and price is reflective, then you should be good. This process is different from clarity enhancing such as laser drilling and fracture filling and I don't think with this process, you'd have to take any special precautions with the diamond like some clarity enhanced stones.
I saw a honker of a diamond on JBEG that looks just beautiful and has been HPHT treated to bring it to a J. The accompanying report indicates everything is fine with it structurally as well.
