Pasted from riiga's response to my query about this:

"It's not really a bug in my opinion. The holiday file for Sweden includes all the common holidays and events you would expect to find in any printed calendar, this includes public holidays, flag days (among them for the royal family) and some cultural events of note. This isn't any different from the holiday file for Denmark or Norway. It's also in the description, "Helg- och flaggdagar i Sverige" or "Holidays and flag days in Sweden".

maybe one day our applications will have the ability to show a subset of the holidays, like "Show Public Holidays Only"

for now this is NOT A BUG
