I can't see it as a spur-of-the-moment decision, and I also
always assumed that planting the diary was the "Important
Business Elsewhere" of which he speaks to Mr. Borgin.
(Will we ever see Borgin again?  I find that an ominous
  name, too good to be a throw-away, like Daedalus Diggle.)

While embarassing Mr. W would have been icing on the cake,
I think the #1 objective was to "clone" Voldy 'a la _The Boys
 From Brazil_, the full-strength "Voldemort Mark 2" being
potentially as strong as the original, but with no memory of his
downfall and desertion by Lucius and other DE's who pleaded
temporary insanity to the Ministry.

So my question from way back when still stands -- What would
He-Who-Must do if he found out that dear old Lucius tried to
bring him back without bringing him back?
