This hack is untenable.  What it does must only be done the first time
diary-show-all or make-diary-entry are invoked but not on subsequent
invocations (don't want to kill modified buffers!).  I think the fix
must be located in diary-data-forms or somehow tied to its taking
effect, but I still don't see how to do it.
