I have tried another small change that might work.  This time, I have
disabled the call to muse-colors-region in planner-mode; I don't know
why that was there, though, so some other highlighting issue may
appear.

I removed the previous change, to ensure that this is the real source
of the problem.

Does this work for you?  If not, I am more or less stumped. 

On a separate matter: Looking at the calendar insinuation behaviour,
it looks as though all pages visited by moving through the calendar
get removed when the calendar is exited, including any that were there
before M-x calendar was invoked.  Is this reasonable behaviour?  I
don't use this feature regularly, but I would have thought that any
pre-existing page buffers should be retained.
