 I'd expect some text to tell me what the tab contains; usually the date?

Do you see related errors in the Error Console (Ctrl + Shift + J)?
From your screenshot I see you have others extensions installed or maybe themes different from the default one, try to disable them all to see whether the bug disappears. In case, re-enable them one by one to see which is causing problems.

The tab should contain the calendar icon and the label "Calendar".

I am not sure how this got marked as a Windows 7 issue; I saw it in LMDE2/Mate. 

Now a surprise finding; I switched to MXLinux, initially with XFCE and later with Mate. In both of these cases, this bug disappears. Same build of Thunderbird, same DE, different distro. Go figure. (Interestingly a different fault also disappeared; in messages to the test newsgroup where a user adds 4 emoticons, I was seeing only one of four. In MXLinux I see all four.) 

Of course this change of OS means that I don't have sight of the error console where this happened. 

Shall we call this a configuration error?

Probably one of the HWA/GTK issues. As it seems to to be specific to the previous setup you have been running, there is little to nothing we could do at the calendar end.

That's why the theme looked so different ;)

So we can close as worksforme (even if it doesn't seem a Calendar's bug).
Please reopen if you can reproduce again.
