I am a bit puzzled.

I can reproduce the error even when commenting out the expressions
mentioned. I can also reproduce the error when substituting parameters,
as you suggest, in `org-read-date'.

It looks like the problem comes from "diary-lib.el". For example,
evaluating the following sexp

  (let ((entry "14:30 @<description>")
        (date '(6 22 2016)))
    (diary-remind
     '(and (diary-float t 3 -1) (not (or (diary-date 2016 6 29))))
     '(-7)
     nil))

returns the very same error you're experiencing, even though Org is not
involved at all.
