This is not a bug, because you should be using:

emacs -Q --eval "(progn \
  (setq debug-on-error t) \
  (setq other-holidays '((holiday-fixed 2 27 \"No bug\"))))"

as per the examples in the doc string of `calendar-holidays'. You
can't just add constant dates to the holiday lists - you need to use
functions that return nil when the relevant date is outside the
visible range of the calendar. holiday-fixed is the appropriate one
for a constant date.
