That is simply not true. NDSolve can handle implicit equations as long
as the coefficient matrix is not singular. But *this* is exact the case
here.
Replace *one* of the i1'[t]-i2'[t] terms in the equations by
i1'[t]+i2'[t]
(the quations are still implicit) but now Solve[_,{i1'[t],i2't]}] can
transform
it to the explicit form.
