Series diode

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: DS1339A

DS1339A datasheet states Diodes should not be placed in series between the backup source and the VBACKUP input, or improper operation will result.

Why is this a problem? If we are using a 3.6V battery that has a series diode and a 3.0V LDO is that ok?
