Is there an incompatibility between the packages calc and siunitx? (GenericError […])

The following code does not compile:
documentclass[11pt]{article}
usepackage{calc}
usepackage{siunitx}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{p{.5cm}p{widthof{textbf{AAAAAAAAA}}}l}
&textbf{AAAAAAAAA}&XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\
&textbf{BBBBB}&YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY\
end{tabular}
end{document}
However, it does compile, when the line
usepackage{siunitx}
is omitted. Interchanging the loading order of the packages does not help.
Error message:
! Undefined control sequence.
GenericError ...
#4 errhelp @err@ ...
l.5 ...r}{p{.5cm}p{widthof{textbf{AAAAAAAAA}}}l}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `Ihbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

array package should probably have made this safe, one way to patch it is

usepackage{etoolbox}

I have now added a fix to the array package (somewhat more general than the above). The next release of LaTeX's tools (planned for December 2018) will contain this.
