Everytime I launch iCal nowadays I get spurious characters in the icon, where the month should be.



WTF?



Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?

    There's a thread at MacNN in which someone had this problem. Maybe there are answers there.

    Yep, that's exactly what it looks like!



    A quick look at your link would suggest that it's not uncommon!

    It's a conflict between Apple and non-Apple versions of Helvetica Neue. Check your font folders. I thought this was fixed in latest version of iCal, because I haven't had this problem recently.
