Thanks for the fix!

What exactly does KEEPDATE argument do? The `org-eval-in-calendar'
docstring doesn't mention it anywhere, which is probably why I missed it
in my patch. Looking at the code, it seems that the part about storing
the cursor date in org-ans2 only happens for a non-nil KEEPDATE?

I'd post an update to improve the `org-eval-in-calendar' docstring, but I
don't feel like I really understand what the KEEPDATE argument does well
enough.
