To test this, I created a calendar event for tomorrow (Fri Oct 24) going from 4:55 PM (16:55) to 5:55 PM (17:55).
My timezone: America/New York (UTC-4).

Given this setup and set of inputs, calendar-app creats this entry in
~/.local/share/evolution/calendar/system/calendar.ics:

    BEGIN:VCALENDAR

DTSTART is set to "20141024T205500", which is a 'floating' value not
bound to any particular timezone -- that is, it should fire 20:55:00 no
matter which time zone the user is in.

indicator-datetime shows this as:

    "Tomorrow 8:55 PM"

which is the correct rendering (on 2014-10-23) for an event which starts
at 20141024T205500.

In summary:

- Since clock-app's "New Event" form doesn't contain a timezone chooser, clock-app is correct to store DTSTART, DTEND as floating dates.
- calendar-app appears to have a bug that converts the date's value to UTC before saving it as a local time.
- since calendar-app still shows the date & time as matching the user's input even after calendar-app restarts, it must also have the same bug in reverse when loading events from EDS.
