Now I get it, I can also see that.

I can also observe when I first enter schedule with C-c C-s then
calendar buffer disappears and right after I could use C-c <

That means you need to open at least one time calendar as function C-c
< must somehow get where the cursor is in calendar buffer or where the
cursor was in calendar buffer.

Namely when I insert schedule with C-c C-s and insert date, the
calendar buffer is not killed or removed, it is still activated rather
buried that I do not see it. That is why the function C-c < works as
it looks into calendar buffer that is there but not visible in front
of me.

I do not think that is any bug.

Open calendar buffer and then invoke the function.
