CALENDARAUTO() Bug

I'm trying to make a PBI template file with a pre-loaded dim_Date unfortunately the following DAX expression returns an error:

 

dim_Date =
IFERROR (
CALENDARAUTO (),
CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2019, 01, 01 ), DATE ( 2019, 12, 31 ) )
)
 
There appears to be a bug where a CALENDARAUTO() error is not caught/short-circuits IFERROR() and ISERROR().  Does anyone know of a workaround or a way to highlight this to the product team?

@Anonymous ,

 

The return value of IFERROR() should be a scalar of the same type as the parameter. So the first and second parameter of IFERROR() should be an scaler value, not a table.
