It would be a break with how Emacs has worked for decades, so I don't
think that's something we could do in general.

I'm not even sure we could provide a user option for this -- if we're
not using the normal default directory here, which one should we choose
for `default-directory'?  "~/"?  "/"?

If starting calendar while in a Tramp buffer is problematic for you,
then I think the solution is to not do that, I'm afraid.
