It is a general problem in Emacs with interactive functions present in
M-x and failing because they are out of context.
`diary-view-entries' is a good example.
Probably you could reduce a lot bug reports like this by sending a
meaningful error message in this case.

Actually:

diary-view-entries: Symbol's value as variable is void: displayed-month

is probably clear for you but not for the user.
