There have been a few bugs regarding ical's handling of .ics exported
from cosmo. The issue boils down to bug 10558:
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10558
Basically, ical doesn't like it when a date propety includes a
VALUE=DATE-TIME parameter. This is valid icalendar, but for some reason
ical doesn't like it and weird things happen such as the date losing its
timezone. So should cosmo remove VALUE=DATE-TIME (its redundant because
its the default) when exporting to .ics? Apple should fix their client
to accept this valid icalendar but for all those clients out there that
are broken should we accommodate them by making sure not to include this
parameter in the exported .ics?
