You may get such errors e.g. after upgrading Emacs when still running an
instance of the old Emacs.

You may also need to recompile some files manually.  But most of the
time, when I got such an error, restarting Emacs was enough.

BTW, what do you mean with "your" dired-create-directory function?
Did you redefine it?
