Just to add some observations:

I have a problem to add/use a Google Calendar in Lightning. Defining a 
calendar (which is available with other service and also using an 
Android Smartphone) these errors are thrown:

I'm using another Google Calendar which works well :
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/{--login2--}@googlemail.com/events/

For the second calendar it was necessary to enter login details, but 
after restart it wasn't asked again.
(and yes I stored un/pw with TB PW manager).
