Running this:
emacs -q --eval '(display-buffer-in-major-side-window (current-buffer) (quote right) 0)' -f calendar
I get an error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Cannot split side window or parent of side window")
signal(error ("Cannot split side window or parent of side window"))
error("Cannot split side window or parent of side window")
byte-code(...)
split-window(nil nil)
split-window-below()
calendar-basic-setup(nil)
calendar(nil)
call-interactively(calendar record nil)
command-execute(calendar record)
execute-extended-command(nil "calendar")
call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
command-execute(execute-extended-command)
I have no idea if this is a bug because I don't know how the user is
supposed to use/create side windows (see also #18170).
In GNU Emacs 24.3.92.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

There were at least two bugs here, namely
(1) `calendar-basic-setup' calls `split-window-below' without checking
whether the selected window can be split at all.
(2) `window-splittable-p' doesn't check whether the argument window is a
side window.
Both should be fixed with revision 117719 on trunk.

Bugs like the ones you found here should get fixed before promoting side
windows generally.
BTW, if you intend to put the calendar in a side window
emacs -q --eval '(display-buffer-in-major-side-window (current-buffer) (quote bottom) 0)' -f calendar
should look better.
