And I found the problem with the problematic .ics file.  The problem is 
that the original .ics in 0.5 had a CATEGORIES property like:

CATEGORIES:A,\,,\\,\,,\,,\\,\\,\,,B

Not sure why there are multiple '\', but when this is parsed by Cosmo 
and migrated to 0.6 it gets stored as:

CATEGORIES:A,\,\,\,B

Then when the event is loaded and parsed and output the result is:

CATEGORIES:A,B

This is why the content-length doesn't match.  It seems the problem is 
in parsing a CATEGORIES property value.  Ical4j does not like escaped 
text in the category list.  This will most likely require changes to the 
ical4j code.  I don't think that many events are affected, but there is 
definitely an issue with CATEGORIES when there is escaped text in the value.
