Because there's a process started by Gnome very early on called
'evolution-alarm-notify' - that's the process that pops up calendar
messages.  Remember that Evolution isn't the only process that uses the
Evolution calendars - the Gnome calendar that you get by clicking on the
date on the top Gnome bar uses them as well so all the Evolution
calendar processes need to be started when Gnome starts.

Have you started Evolution from a command line to see if there are any
errors or messages that may show what's happening.  Try turning on the
debug variable to show more information if necessary (see
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging).
