The function `org-agenda-insert-diary-as-top-level' is a few line above
the one you patched.

I copied the code you've written in
`org-agenda-insert-diary-make-new-entry' and I've put it in
`org-agenda-insert-diary-as-top-level'. This fixes my problem. Please
find attached the associated patch.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix `org-agenda-insert-diary-as-top-level'

* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-insert-diary-as-top-level): Ensure
  point is at a real body line and not in front of meta data, so
  regular contents can be inserted safely after a call to this
  function.

I suggest to provide a helper that would move point after the meta-data
part to avoid code duplication. Something like (no surprise :-)):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-goto-after-metadata-part ()
  (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  (when (looking-at org-property-drawer-re)
    (goto-char (match-end 0))
    (forward-line)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I would have gladly provided a patch myself but I couldn't find neither
a good name for the function nor a correct location to store it. Should
it be in org.el? It is already 24850 lines long...

My best :-),
