[BUG?] org-agenda not showing entries with diary sexp timestamps

Hello,

Can anyone reproduce this?

Say I write the following in my agenda org file:

* Weekly meeting
  <%%(diary-cyclic 7 9 10 2021) 9:00-10:00>

Invoking org-agenda with a (org-agenda-list) does not show the 
item, whereas scheduled diary sexp or plain timestamp works fine:

* Weekly meeting
  SCHEDULED: <%%(diary-cyclic 7 9 10 2021) 9:00-10:00>

or

* Weekly meeting
  <2021-09-10 9:00-10:00 +1w>

emacs version:

GNU Emacs 27.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 
3.24.27, cairo version 1.17.4) of 2021-03-27

I can reproduce; adding the hour makes the event not appear unless it
has a DEADLINE or SCHEDULED.

Thanks for confirming.  The org-agenda code is not very readable 
for me with some very long functions, but I'll see if I can fix 
it.  By the way is breaking functions into smaller ones desirable 
for the project?

What works for me, for diary sexp entries, is putting the time in the
heading:

* 09:00-10:00 Weekly meeting
  <%%(diary-cyclic 7 9 10 2021)>

Actually, that is how the manual explain their usage.

This is exactly how the feature is described in the manual:

#+begin_example
Diary-style expression entries
     For more complex date specifications, Org mode supports using the
     special expression diary entries implemented in the Emacs Calendar
     package(2).  For example, with optional time:

          * 22:00-23:00 The nerd meeting on every 2nd Thursday of the month
            <%%(diary-float t 4 2)>
#+end_example

Thanks, my bad.  I guess the reason for the time to be included in 
the headline is to be consistent with the diary format.
