It *can* appear for me if the window is big enough. You can see that
the window is big enough if, when you call calc, the first 2 windows
(for me, 2 windows of the *scratch* buffer) remain visible or only one
is visible. There is then either 3 windows (one *scratch* plus 2 for
calc windows) and there won't be any problem closing calc. Or there
will be 4 windows and quitting calc will result in the error
message. On a side note, I think there is a minimal height for a
buffer, so this makes sense (found it: window-min-height with default
value of 4).

Again, this depends on your window configuration after the invocation
of the calc command.

I have also tried to resize the Emacs window in X mode. If it is set
smaller than the default window size, it can have no problem closing
calc, again as in console mode.
