Some events from accepted invitations are displayed with the wrong time

[logological]

In Issue #342 I reported a problem where, if I created a new event in Thunderbird in my system timezone (America/Winnipeg), then after saving that event, the event timezone changes to America/Chicago and Thunderbird displays it starting and ending an hour later than I originally specified. That problem was fixed for the case where I create a new event myself, but I am still seeing it with some events that others invite me to.

For example, a couple days ago I received an e-mail invitation for a half-hour meeting starting at 13:00. An excerpt from the calendar file is as follows:

Before I accept this invitation, the message preview pane in Thunderbird shows the meeting time as "Thursday, 30 May 2024 13:00 – 13:30". After I accept it, Thunderbird shows the meeting time in the message preview pane as "Thursday, 30 May 2024 14:00 – 14:30" on one line, and then "Thursday, 30 May 2024 13:00 – 13:30" crossed out on the second line. And then in Thunderbird's today pane or in the calendar tab, the meeting is shown as taking place from 14:00 to 14:30. However, if I double-click on the calendar entry, the "Edit Event" dialog shows the meeting time as 13:00 to 13:30 (in America/Chicago)! There seems to be no consistency whatsoever…

Not every accepted event gets mangled in this way, but I haven't managed to determine which events get their time changed and which don't.
