The point of the cal-html package is to make an html calendar showing
your diary entries. No-one imagined it would be used without a diary.
AFAICS, that's never worked.
Anyway, I added handling for that case to the emacs-25 branch.

I can't reproduce any such issue with

rm -rf /tmp/foo
mkdir /tmp/foo
HOME=/tmp/foo emacs-24.5

My crystal ball says that you set diary-file to nil. Don't do that.
(Not sure why you would do that then call M-x diary though.)
