I can confirm a similar problem for TZ America/New_York (-4:00 hours from UTC).
 For appointments specified in UTC, the day is not always converted to the
local day before display.

The following example should make the clear.  I created two test appointments.
Test A starts on 05/02/2009 00:00 am UTC and ends on 05/02/2009 02:00 am UTC.
Test B starts on 05/03/2009 00:00 am UTC and ends on 05/03/2009 02:00 am UTC.
Both are correct in the VCALENDAR file.  (See attachment.)  However, they both
display incorrectly.

Month view:  Test A displays as 08:00 pm on 5/2 (should be 5/1 New York time). 
Test B displays as 08:00 pm on 5/3 (should be 5/2 New York time).

Week view:  Test A displays as 08:00 pm - 10:00 pm on 5/2 (should be 5/1). 
Test B doesn't display at all!

Day view:  Neither appointment displays.

Others have apparently encountered this bug after conversion from korganizer 3,
but this test was done entirely within KDE 4.2.2.

Platform:  Fedora 10
OS: Linux
KDE: 4.2.2
