I think I found a better solution. I pushed a change to org-caldav which
allows to set org-icalendar-timezone to the string "UTC", which will put
events using universal time. The server should then transpose it to the
timezone you have set in your SOGo preferences. It works for me (for
SOGo, mind you; other calendar servers don't work well with that).

My test suite runs fine with the SOGo server, so I'm guessing it has to
do with how you format your entries. Does this also happen when you put
the timestamp underneath the heading?

On a general note, I find manipulating Org entries rather delicate and
wonder why there are no helper functions to change things like headings,
timestamps, etc., which take care of the multitude of possibilities how
entries can be formatted. My guess is that org-elements might be the
solution for this, but I haven't looked at it yet...
