My idea is that by the time Dumbledore first sees the diary, it has 
been destroyed, entirely.  Young Harry strikes the main blow, which 
stops Diary Riddle and saves Ginny... and then Invisible Time 
Traveling Harry does something to make sure the soul bit is 
destroyed.  Because this piece of soul is still tied to the earth by 
the other 5 horcruxes.  It doesn't just disapear because the Horcrux 
it was tied to is destroyed.  It must be prevented from misting off 
to the jungle somewhere to regroup.  Time-Traveling Harry destroys 
the soul piece, or captures it in a jar, etc. and then leaves the 
area before Dumbledore ever gets a chance to examine the Horcrux.  He 
might suspect something about what really went on, though, because 
magic leaves its traces.
