Occurs with pretty much all recent Evolution versions.

The VEVENT wasn't broken, just a bit weird: it used an explicit
TZID/VTIMEZONE "Etc/UTC" with zero UTC offsets instead of simply
declaring the times as UTC with the Z suffix. It seems that the event
was imported from/created by ScheduleWorld in 2005.

The libecal code should have handled this. Because I wrote that code, I
also fixed it:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593019

I hope to get this into Evolution 2.28, but it'll take some time before
all users run that version. Need to document the issue as "know issue",
once it is clear that 2.28 will fix it.
