The problem seems to be, that KDE3 calendar files
and the attached file 'UTC_Summertime.ics'
only contain time for all events in UTC format
and no information about timezone or DST.
If KOrganizer opens this kind of file,
it doesn't ask you, whether you want to 
choose absolute or relative time.
No dialog popping up.

Changing timezone in KOrganizer may act as a workaround:
Settings -> Configure KOrganizer -> Time and Date.

Then a dialog window "Keep Absolute Times?" WILL pop-up:
"The time zone setting was changed. Do you want to keep the absolute time of
the items in your calendar, which will show them to be at a different time than
before, or move them to be at the old time also in the new time zone?"

So if you want time to remain in UTC, choose "Keep Times".
