Public bug reported:

Maybe the fault is in Nokia Ovi suite behaviour. Anyway, this may apply to other situations.
Syncing from Nokia mobile phone address book to MS Outlook 2010 results in Outlook creating recurring events for contacts' birthdays. Outlook stores them as recurring events starting at 0:00 and ending at 0:00 of the birthdays (duration=0:00). When exporting the MS Outlook address book as pst file and importing to Evolution, the starting date is shifted in advance of 1 day. Example:

Nokia phone
Jill - birthday: 26 september 1980

MS Outlook 2010
Recurring event (every year)
from 0:00  of 26 september 1980
to 0:00 of 26 september 1980

Evolution (after importing pst file)
Recurring event (every year)
from 0:00  of *25* september 1980
to 0:00 of 26 september 1980

Seems that Evolution replies "ending time is before starting time" when
trying to manually create an event with duration equal to 0:00h.
