Here's a simple patch for Trusty. It may also work in newer releases.
I've made a very short test but it seemed to work. Still, more testing is advisable!

The patch makes the list of upcoming events display, for today, the events that END before the current time, instead of the ones that START before it.
That means all-day events and ongoing events will now be displayed.

I think this is the best behavior. This is also the behavior of the Android calendar/agenda widget according to my tests, for example.
Today's all-day events should definitely be displayed! Displaying ongoing events is more debatable, but I still think they should be displayed.
If these events were not being displayed because the list only displays 5 events at most, just increase the limit! Actually, that limit should be increased anyway (unless there's a bigger problem).

Title:
  Indicator-datetime still doesn't list all events for today's date
  (Trusty/Utopic/Vivid)

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug is related to this bug: Bug #1293646 (Which is marked as fix
  released)

  With latest update of indicator (13.10.0+14.04.20140328-0ubuntu1) it
  lists all events for all past selected dates properly (which was fixed
  in bug Bug #1293646) except today's date. When I click on any past
  date in calendar it shows:

  1. all all-day events for the day.
  2. all events with time for the day
  3. upcoming (future) all-day events
  4. upcoming (future) events with time

  But when I click on today's date it only shows:

  1. future all day events
  2. future events with time

  I still have to click on previous day's date to find out all all-day
  events for today.

  The behavior (showing all events for a day) should be same for any
  date, including today's date.
