Hmm, that is weird.  I guess you could search for the text variable name
in your calc.el file, but I don't know how that would help you.  Since
I'm requiring calc from ob-calc.el, and I am only calling existing calc
functions I'm going to treat this as a calc bug (i.e. beyond my scope).

That is the only example I gave that uses a calc default variable.
Maybe this is also a difference in our calc implementations?
