An instance representing the supplied DTSTART value is always present as 
per 4.8.5.4 (which says in the Description paragraph: 'The "DTSTART" 
property defines the first instance in the recurrence set.'). So a COUNT=1 
will only ever generate the DTSTART instance. So your 'intuitive' 
expectation is wrong.
