I have experimented a little longer. Explicitly setting the timezone in
the org-export-icalender group to "Europe/Berlin" solves the issue. But
it's strange that this is necessary in case of the git version, but not
in the stable version of org. I, too, don't think that this is an Emacs
issue. Something must confuse the import of ics files in Google when
they become to complex. In an ics file with VALARM entries Google
somehow doesn't recognize X-WR-TIMEZONE:CEST correctly.

Thank you
