Actually, a recurring event is in fact a sequent of multiple events! In 
particular, you have two different events in this case, each with its own 
end.

E.g. take an event on Monday, on August 13, from 8:00 to 9:00, recurring 
weekly until December 31.

This is entered in korganizer as an event on August 13, 8:00 to 9:00. You then 
select weekly recurrence until December 31.
As a result, you have a sequence of events:
-) Aug 13, 8-9 (duration=1 hour)
-) Aug 20, start: 8:00, end: start+duration=9:00
-) Aug 27, start: 8:00, end: start+duration=9:00
...
-) Dec 31, start: 8:00, end: start+duration=9:00

As you can see, the recurrence end date is just the limit up to which date the 
sequence of events is generated. The event's end date/time is still 
the "real" end time for the event.

Cheers,
