Like with numbers, we use ICU for parsing calendars. It seems this is another case of ICU and and DFDL describing different behaviors for lenient/strict mode. With numbers, ICU decided that lax behavior is not tightly specified, and so we can't really depend on a particular behavior. I suspect the same goes for calendars. I think the DFDL-WG is working to make that change in the final revision so that DFDL it makes this more clear.
