The general opinion here is that events with hourly or minutely recurrence are a pretty rare thing.  Adding UI to the standard interface to support them would likely just clutter things for the majority of the users.  As such, I think creating UI for exposing this should be done in an extension.  Sunbird should (and does, to the best of my knowledge) display these events correctly, even if it doesn't offer a way to create them.

I'm marking this wontfix, because the UI for it should be done by an extension.  If you encounter problems with the display of these events (ie, repeating at wrong intervals or not repeating correctly) please feel free to re-open.
