It would appear this isn't likely to be do-able... According to the
source (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GoogleCalendar):

Problems with this extension

[edit] Ampersand problem

Google allows extra features like custom sizing of the calendar,
viewing other calendars within the same iframe and removing the google
logo. Eg. Adding & chrome=NAVIGATION removes the google logo.

However the problem with this is that it requires a pure & and when
the iframe is written into the page the & gets converted to an &amp;
in the html page source, which is the ampersand problem. And so the
iframe cannot recognize the query after the &amp; because it needs a
pure &. Thus the extra google calendar features do not work correctly
when viewed using this extension.
