Quite > weird. I don't think there's anything weird here. The standard ("simple") diary display uses invisible text to hide parts of the diary buffer. So visiting the diary file and displaying the diary buffer give different results. Copying and pasting from the simple diary can also be confusing.

The kernel used now is 2.6.11.4-21.14-default. I don't think the kernel has anything to do with this error, which is unrelated to all the stuff you describe above. So where's the backtrace from this sequencep error? You probably want to update and rebuild your CVS before investing much time in debugging this.
