@Charles

I don't know if that "idiom is commonplace" but at least the patch pilot
calendar [1] as such events and the google UI/evolution/gnome-calendar
correctly list them as day event

I've exported the ICS and events have that format

"BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160118
DTSTAMP:20160112T165350Z
...
CREATED:20151211T075059Z
DESCRIPTION:Pilot <name>
SUMMARY:Pilot <name>
...
END:VEVENT"

AS you can see there is only a DTSTART,
http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/vevent.html states

"For cases where a "VEVENT" calendar component specifies a "DTSTART"
property with a DATE data type but no "DTEND" property, the events non-
inclusive end is the end of the calendar date specified by the "DTSTART"
property"

So to reply to your questions

a) The missing DTEND is a valid case and the code doesn't handle it well
b) other systems honor it

Title:
  indicator-datetime list evolution calendar all day event a day before
  actual date of event

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. What is expected

  I add new all day events to evolution calendar (caldav sync with
  owncloud and also local calendar). Evolution shows events just OK and
  indicator-datetime calendar shows correct day as bold as well and
  should also list events below as defined.

  2. What actually happens

  Indicator-datetime lists events to take place one day ahead e.g. all day event on Monday is listed to be happen on Sunday.
