The window you're using to display `diary' here ...

... is the same window where you first show the calendar here.  As a
consequence, `display-buffer-in-previous-window' will find a window
where you have shown `diary' already and reuse that window.  I'm not
sure what's the best thing to do here - maybe we should remove
`display-buffer-in-previous-window' from
`display-buffer-fallback-action' in `calendar-in-read-only-buffer'.
