Seem to go wrong already at extraction -> ListView "Calendar" en ListView "Completed" are extracted with names to lower case, in the template the views displayname are now "calendar" and "completed". There are multiple views created "Calendar" already is created based on the list TemplateType. The provisioning code is now created a second view with the name "calendar" in lowercase. This view is created as a view with type "HTML" and not as a view with type "CALENDAR".
