The log file showed that libecal/gdbus fail because a string is not in
UTF-8. They definitely shouldn't crash in this case, but that's a
different issue.
The solution in SyncEvolution is to convert from the phone's character
set. Now I remember that this came up before, and I have a work item for
fixing it in my backlog - sorry for not getting to it sooner:

I got the impression that you have a Sony Ericsson phone. Is that right?
I'll try to prepare an experimental release with a fix for this today or
tomorrow.
Code is in master branch. Tobias, if you don't want to wait, then copy
the 00_sony_ericsson.xml file as described below and add the lines.

Sony Ericsson: use ISO-8859-1 for all devices (BMC #14414)
Sony Ericsson seems to use ISO-8859-1 for all their phones. This
causes two problems:
- mangled characters and/or
- crashes inside libecal/gdbus
It is uncertain whether all devices have this problem. A poll did not
yield any results
(http://syncevolution.org/blogs/pohly/2011/question-sony-ericsson-users-ch...). So
let's change it for those who have reported problems.
To revert the change, copy
/usr/share/syncevolution/xml/remoterules/server/00_sony_ericsson.xml
into $HOME/.config/syncevolution-xml/remoterules/server (after
creating that directory) and remove the lines with ISO-8859-1.
This was originally reported for contacts, and now also for calendar
data. The calendar case was seen as a crash of the syncevo-dbus-server:
GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1,
NULL)' failed
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
