CAML query using DateRangesOverlap does not respect CalendarDate when using year

Question

I've seen numerous articles on how to get recurring events for the year, month, week or day. However, it appears that when using <Year /> the CalendarDate in QueryOptions is ignored.

In the below code, if I replace <Year /> with <Month /> then it respects the CalendarDate but with <Year /> it does not.

Any idea why?

<ViewFields>
    <FieldRef Name='Title' />
    <FieldRef Name='EventDate' />
    <FieldRef Name='EndDate' />
    <FieldRef Name='Location' />
    <FieldRef Name='Description' />
    <FieldRef Name='fRecurrence' />
    <FieldRef Name='RecurrenceData' />
    <FieldRef Name='fAllDayEvent' />
</ViewFields>
<Query>
    <Where>
        <DateRangesOverlap>
            <FieldRef Name='EventDate' />
            <FieldRef Name='EndDate' />
            <FieldRef Name='RecurrenceID' />
            <Value Type='DateTime'>
                <Year />
            </Value>
        </DateRangesOverlap>
    </Where>
    <OrderBy>
        <FieldRef Name='EventDate' />
    </OrderBy>
</Query>
<QueryOptions>
    <CalendarDate>2018-01-01T12:00:00Z</CalendarDate>
    <RecurrencePatternXMLVersion>v3</RecurrencePatternXMLVersion>
    <ExpandRecurrence>TRUE</ExpandRecurrence>
</QueryOptions>

Now and Year don't honour the CalendarDate property whereas others do honour it. See my article about it http://www.sharepointnadeem.com/2015/05/sharepoint-recurring-calendar-events.html
