There must be something weird with the events you have. Could be that
it's the special characters you mentioned, but I'm afraid I'll need to
see the event which triggers this.

I just pushed a change to org-caldav which introduces the option for
excessive debug output. Please pull the new version and do

(setq org-caldav-debug-level 2)

before running org-caldav-sync. The iCalendar events will then be put
fully into the *org-caldav-debug-buffer*. Please send me the event which
triggers this bug; it should simply be the last one you see in there.
You can also send me the whole buffer, of course, but *please* remember
to edit/delete any private data from these events you don't want me to
see. I'd also recommend to send it directly to me and not to the list.
