Aaron,
Good thought.
Those settings apply to the stroke, though, and the calligraphy tool seems to basically work by drawing a fill as if it were a line. That is, the calligraphy tool is sort of weird in that the "line" in this case is comprised of the fill, not the stroke. So I can add a stroke and apply line styles to that stroke, but it doesn't seem to affect the ends of the fill.
Thanks,
Matt

Have you checked the line style? I'm not sure with the caligraphy tool but the "normal" lines have three kinds of line endings: cut off (square, not extending over the start point), square and round. Try to set the line ending style to round; maybe that helps.
