But this would imply that once the extended appointment has been corrected it 
should not get longer again in following calls of korganizer. Is that 
correct? But just that seems to be the case.
Indeed, I checked: I created a new yearly appointment (birthday). Then I saved 
korganizer and started it again. Now the birthday is two days.
