I can not reproduce this with a .emacs containing only:

(blink-cursor-mode 0)
(diary)

Today's diary entry gets shown in a pop-up window.  So either this has
been fixed in the meantime, or some other customization you made
causes this.

   Setting `inhibit-startup-message' doesn't do the trick either (it
   seems to do nothing at all, don't even see anything in the
   *Messages* buffer).

It should not really have anything to do with the problem, but if you
want to get rid of startup-echo-area-message, should you not set
`inhibit-startup-echo-area-message' instead of `inhibit-startup-message'?
