I've had the same problem after updating org from git with entries like

%%(org-anniversary 2000 4 4) X is %d years old


The commit introducing it is
https://github.com/bzg/org-mode/commit/6d73cd34a07796c33f9435bfc8c9a19e67656c7a

And the problem is gone, after reverting

         (result (if calendar-debug-sexp (eval sexp t)
                   (condition-case nil
                       (eval sexp t)

back to

         (result (if calendar-debug-sexp (eval sexp)
                   (condition-case nil
                       (eval sexp)

in org-diary-sexp-entry in org.el.
