"ox-icalendar.el" doesn't modify the Org file, except when an ID
property is created.

I guess CalDAV removes the "SCHEDULED: " string. As a consequence, the
property drawer is no longer valid and a new, valid, property drawer is
created above upon generating a new ID.

The "S:" prefix in "ox-icalendar.el" is inserted in the ".ics" file, not
the Org document.
I don't know "org-caldav.el" but it looks like it should be more careful
when removing the "SCHEDULED" keyword.
