I'm wondering if this issue may be related to this post on emacs-devel:

  calendar/diary/appt: diary-lunar-phases should not create appointments

    Hi,

    I have

    &%%(diary-sunrise-sunset)
    &%%(diary-lunar-phases)

    which results in emacs nagging me about moon phases and sunsets.
    I don't think this is right: I want to be able to see the times when the
    lunar phases and sunsets happen (and, btw, moon rises and moon sets, but
    they are not available), but I do not want to do anything when they
    actually do happen.

    Is there a way to prevent some diary entries containing times from being
    interpreted as appointments?

no resolution...picked up again a few years later:

... still no resolution.
