I get this also, but in a different manner.

I (require 'vm) in my .emacs.  Shortly thereafter I call (diary) to
get my diary entries displayed.  My startup aborts then with the
"error in Init file" error.  When I track down the problem, it is the
above error mentioned by Noah, when the diary file is being
find-filed.  The error occurs in vm-handle-file-reversion when the
find-file-hooks are run.

If I reload my .emacs, I don't see the problem.  It only happens on
startup.

P.S.  I am experiencing the "References:" problem also.
