Siri misinterprets Spanish query for calendar events

Summary:
I use Siri in "Spanish (Mexico)" language. If I ask Siri "Qué tengo para hacer hoy" (roughly "what do I have to do today"), it tells me it didn't find any event matching "hacer" ("do").

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure Siri is configured for Spanish language
2. Hold home button to trigger Siri
3. Ask "Que tengo para hacer hoy" (native spanish speaker recommended :P)


Expected Results:
I expect Siri to tell me all the calendar events I have for today.

Actual Results:
Siri replies "No encontré eventos para hoy sobre “hacer”." (meaning "I didn't find events for today about 'do'"). It wrongly interprets the word "hacer" as a search term for events.

Version:
iOS 7.1.2 (11D257)

Notes:
I can also reproduce this bug on my father's iPhone 5s with iOS 8.4. This bug is almost certainly server-side so the iOS version is not important.

Configuration:
iPod touch 5th generation, 32GB, A1421, MD720E/A
