In a recent cvs starting "emacs -Q" and evaluating

    (progn
      (require 'calendar)
      (documentation 'calendar-mode))

gets the error and backtrace below.

For what it's worth it works fine from the actual calendar buffer, but I
was trying in some program code where that wasn't the case.  I hoped I
could generally get the docs for any function from anywhere.

Also incidentally I tried a condition-case around it like

    (condition-case nil
        (documentation 'calendar-mode)
      (error nil))

and was surprised it still went to the debugger.  But maybe that's a
separate problem.
