Steps to reproduce:

1. emacs -Q
2. Insert the following code into *scratch* buffer

(defface yant/test '((t :foreground "red" :weight bold)) "")
(defface yant/test-inv '((t :foreground "red"  :inverse-video t)) "")
(require 'calendar)

;; (dotimes (_ 5)
;;   (let* ((mark-calendar
;; 	  (lambda ()
;; 	    (calendar-mark-visible-date
;; 	     (read (format-time-string "(%m %d %Y)"))
;; 	     'yant/test)))
;; 	 (calendar-today-visible-hook))
;;     (add-hook 'calendar-today-visible-hook mark-calendar)
;;     (calendar)
;;     (setq cursor-type nil)
;;     (let ((ov (make-overlay (1- (point)) (1+ (point)))))
;;       (overlay-put ov 'face 'yant/test-inv)))
;;   (read-char "Observe overlay obeying inverse-video. Press any key")
;;   (kill-buffer calendar-buffer))
(dotimes (_ 50)
  (let* ((mark-calendar
	  (lambda ()
	    (calendar-mark-visible-date
	     (read (format-time-string "(%m %d %Y)"))
	     (list :foreground "red" :weight 'bold))))
	 (calendar-today-visible-hook))
    (add-hook 'calendar-today-visible-hook mark-calendar)
    (calendar)
    (setq cursor-type nil)
    (let ((ov (make-overlay (1- (point)) (1+ (point)))))
      (overlay-put ov 'face 'yant/test-inv)))
  (read-char "Observe overlay sometimes *not* obeying inverse-video. Press any key")
  (kill-buffer calendar-buffer))

3. M-x eval-buffer <RET>
4. Observe today date in the calendar fontified inconsistently as the
   code is executed multiple times.
