Nope, not missing anything.
As discussed on the list here: http://lists.osafoundation.org/

The Dashboard Collection in the Calendar App is not meant to be a
Calendar per se, but more of a holding /processing area for
invitations. Since there is no 'in-line accept/decline' workflow for
scheduling in Preview, users will need to manually add events to
their personal calendars via Drag and Drop.
The unfortunate side effect of this is that even events you add
yourself in the Dashboard collection will not appear on any of your
calendars until you manually drag it to an user-defined collection.
(This is another reason why we may want to move away from encouraging
users to 'sit in' the Dashboard collection, but I will save that for
a separate thread.)

Yeap, the problem with this "View" feature is that, although I
understand the concept and it "makes sense", there are quite a bit
of "gotchas", especially with recurring events. I sort of remember
that when we discussed this way back when we agreed that the right
way of doing this was to have a small tool bar in the summary table
zone.
One thing however that still confuses me with *not* having these
view is that, if I create an event (or several events) in the
Dashboard, there's no "natural" way of getting it to display in a
calendar View. Am I missing something?
