No apology needed: it was meant as a (useful?) pointer for the future.
You might try it now just to see what happens:

M-x load-library <RET> org.el <RET>
M-x set-variable <RET> debug-on-error <RET> t <RET>

Then trigger the error and look at the backtrace. Then you can reload
the compiled version if you want:

M-x load-library <RET> org <RET>

So the problem is that org-read-date which is supposed to pop up the
calendar, for some reason does not do so. What happens if you try to
pop up a calendar by hand?

M-x calendar <RET>
