Sven,
unfortunately, I really have no idea what is going on here. I'm not
really that conversant with the full iCalendar specifications although
I have read the relevant parts of the specification [1] and I think
I've got things right.
However, my experience with Google's calendar has left me less than
impressed. There seem to be quite a few idiosyncrasies (I'm trying to
be polite here ;-) in what Google is doing and I have a feeling that
the bug may be there?
Does the 2 hour time shift you find correspond to your time zone
relative to UTC? It could be that when google processes the VALARM
element, it wipes out the time zone information for the whole entry
and treats it as UTC when inserting it.
Sorry I can't be of much help.
