I'm using emacs 23 every day and make extensive use of the calendar and
diary. I'm not getting the problems you are getting, so guess its
something in your environment. Try running emacs -q and see if it works
correctly - if it does, then its your setup. 

Also suggest you check the news files. There have been some changes and
rationalisation of diary and calendar names which might be causing
problems with long standing customization/elisp you have developed.
