Personally, I see the miners who are refusing all transactions (so their blocks propagate faster, less chance of orphans), who are only mining for the reward, completely ignoring that the purpose of mining is to process transactions in the first place, as being a bigger problem than Satoshi Dice is.
As long as Satoshi Dice's transactions are following the rules, that's all that matters to me. I don't care what the purpose the transactions are for. Not my business.
Look at the block explorer from time to time. I see plenty of found blocks that have 0 transactions in it, just the reward generation.
That is the big problem.

Hm, I think, that the fees which are currently paid, are much too low. When I look at blocks with 250kb, they often have a Transaction volume of 10 000BTC and the fees summed up are only 0.5BTC. This is 0.005%. The other reward is 25BTC, which is 50 times more than the transaction fees. When the transactionsfees succeed over the coin base bitcoins, it would not be profitable anymore to exclude fee-based transaction...
