I had the same problem. My night shifts started @ 23:00 and went up to
07:00. I ended up using a solution like yours:

*** DQ Shifts @ ACR
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CATEGORY: shifts
    :END:
    <2010-12-02 Thu 23:00-24:00>
    <2010-12-03 Fri 00:00-07:00>
    <2010-12-05 Sun 07:00-15:00>


I also wish there was an easy way to specify time zones. Most of my
meetings are scheduled in CET/CEST whereas I am in PST/PDT. This
becomes even worse when I travel, I have to reschedule all my
recurring meetings to my current time zone. But I should probably
start a new thread for these. :)
