Did you ever figure this out?  I am ramping up usage of google
calendar now, and have noticed this issue.  I am doing
org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files and then scp'ing the
resulting .ics file to a webserver with a secret filename, and created
a new google calendar via 'add by URL' which points to this secret
URL.  The file begins:

  BEGIN:VCALENDAR
  VERSION:2.0
  X-WR-CALNAME:OrgMode
  PRODID:-//Adam Spiers//Emacs with Org-mode//EN
  X-WR-TIMEZONE:BST
  CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
  BEGIN:VEVENT

and I have google calendar set to Europe/London, but it time-shifts
all events in this calendar later by one hour.  Other calendars
streaming from scheduleworld.com work just fine.

I have tried tweaking it to 

  X-WR-TIMEZONE:Europe/London

but I think I will have to wait for google to re-poll the URL before I
know whether this works - there is no way to force it to reload.
