After having a closer look, the ics file is expected to be UTF-8 decoded, but in the line starting with ORGANIZER;CN= there is an invalid character.

Now there are two options, be resilient and import partially wrong data (instead of telling the user there is nothing to import) or show a better error message (if Calendar: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [calIIcalProperty.valueAsIcalString] when parsing occurs) to the user.
