Ok, this behavior is browser dependent. If you go to this url: http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?dates=20080901%2F20080904&src=calendar.maven%40gmail.com&color=%232952A3&src=g5b79g3f2bi5hc1it41seuu41c%40group.calendar.google.com
or* http://tinyurl.com/ball3z* in Firefox (3 - Mac), IE (7), Chrome (1.0 - ancient!), or Opera (10.0 - Mac) you will see a calendar for August 31-October 4 with events every day. You can navigate to any date and see the events that occur on that day. If you go to the same url in Safari (3.2.1 - Mac) or WebKit (yesterday's build), you see the same base calendar, but there are only events on Sepetember 1 - 3 (exact range might depend on your local time zone). Note that on the original page I referenced, there was reported to be some problem with the rendering of the embedded calendar in Safari. That calendar now renders, but there are still some problems with Google's support of Safari/Webkit (or the underlying JS engines.)
