Even as a proponent of strong typing, I fail to see how type system could have possibly helped in this case. Could you show some sort of example of how you envision types to be used here?
Verbose naming, yes, on the other hand would probably have made the situation clearer.

Have distinct types for each calendar (Gregorian, Julian, ISO week, Islamic, Jewish, Chinese, etc.) so it becomes obvious when you are mixing calendars.
