It is a feature of calc, not to copy to internal (starred) buffers.

I'm afraid the only way to fix this is inside calc. You can do it 
yourself with advice, e.g.:

(advice-add 'calc-find-writable-buffer
            :before-until
            (lambda (buf mode)
              (if (and (string-match "\\`\\*Org Src"
                                     (buffer-name (car buf)))
                       (get-buffer-window (car buf)))
                  (car buf)))
            '((name . calc-copy-to-org-src)))

Remove it with:

(advice-remove 'calc-find-writable-buffer 'calc-copy-to-org-src)

HTH.
