At IMPs I think it is ok to set diamonds since this rates to be safer than hearts even if partner has a couple
1 - 1
2 - 4 = slam try or better
4 = bad hand for slam
... - 4 = RKCB
4NT = 1 or 4
... - 5 = Q?
6 = yes, but nothing extra (I think 6 should show Q rather than the black queens)

At MPs it is harder since we cannot afford to be in 6 with 6 making if the field is good enough to be in it. Now I think we have to add either "2 - 2NT" or "3 - 3NT" between Opener's 2 rebid and Responder's 4. Which one depends on whether we have any agreements about it. So either

1 - 1
2 - 2
2NT - 4
4 - 4
4NT - 5
6

or

1 - 1
2 - 3
3NT - 4
4 - 4
4NT - 5
6

In the OP auction, regardless of other choices you could have made, partner's 4 bid was easily the worst. I am wondering if partner might have meant it as Gerber since it is difficult to see what else they were thinking!
