Think about driving the 2 lines in parallel, with only a high-Z path to ground at the receiver input (the condition without the cap). Without the capacitor, the CM reflection coefficient approaches 1. With the cap, it approaches zero. With an appropriate resistor in series with the cap at the CT of the 50 ohms, it can be made to be zero. The obvious drawback is parts count and board real estate.
