> `diary-list-entries' hides the interesting status message done in

> To reproduce:
>
> # ensure you do not clobber anything important ...
> $ test -f ~/.emacs/diary && mv ~/.emacs/diary ~/.emacs/diary.bak
> $ cp /dev/null ~/.emacs/diary
> $ emacs -Q
> M-x diary RET

> Observe the minibuffer showing "Preparing diary...done" and check the
