Hi Kirk,
I found a solution.  The issue seems to be an outdated version of caldav used 
for Synology's webdav server.  Here is what I did
- Expert calendar and tasks list (separately) to ics files
- Deactivate caldav in the webdav server
- Installed the new calendar application in my Diskstation 
(https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/feature/calendar)
- Create a new calendar (not that you cannot delete the default calendar 'my 
calendar', which can be anoying)
- Imported the calendar via web interface
- Created new calendar and task list in evolution
- Used evolution to import task list
Somewhat cumbersome but it worked.  Two positive side effects:
- It was easy to implement separate calendars for 'home' and 'work'
- The new calendar better integrates with my iPhone.  I can now invite others 
to appointments from my iPhone.  This option was not available with the 
previous solution.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Jürgen

Title:
  Caldav Issues with evolution 3.26

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I noticed a series of issues with caldav  when switching to Ubuntu
  17.10.  Everthing works fine with Ubuntu GNOME 17.04.

  Error message during ics import:
  "Cannot receive calendar objects: Failed to put data: HTTP error code 201 
(Created): The server responded with an HTML page, which can mean there’s an 
error on the server or with the client request."
  The import successfully finished regardless.  It's still a nuisance.

  Attempts to pick a date (calendar entry and tasks) are followed by the 
message:
  "Evolution want to inhibit shortcuts.
  You can restore shortcuts by pressing Shift-Ctrl-Escape"

  Creating new tasks: Same error message as for ics import.  Tasks are
  only stored when date *and* time are specified. Error message needs to
  be ignored and window to be close with 'discard changes'.

  Update of calender appointments (external): just does not work

  Could not test handling of confirmations of meeting invites, yet
