I do classify this as a bug. An unknown calendar string should either be kept as it is (TimeValue happily stores any non-empty string, and the validators we have in place will reject everything that's not a Wikidata concept URI). Or it should be rejected if the relevant CalendarModelParser does not understand it (which is what this patch does). But unknown strings should never silently become the Gregorian URI.
You might think this is a breaking change because code that could never fail before now throws a ParseException. But note this was always possible and documented, see IsoTimestampParser::stringParse. The exception is just thrown for one more reason now.
