Yes, I can verify that. I also experienced this on my Notebook. After
replacing the Ubuntu packages with the ones from syncevolution.org,
everything was back to normal.
I bet the Ubuntu package was built without libical support... yes,
that's the problem:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libsynthesis0
Without libical, libsynthesis doesn't know any of the Olsen TZIDs and
falls back to matching by GMT offset, which works less well.
I filed bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsynthesis/+bug/509032
Debian is also affected.
