Google claims this occurs because the client hasn't implemented the new time zone definitions yet.
See http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=61026&ctx=sibling

This has come about as a result of work on Bug 365812.

Wish I was a programmer but will trust one of you smart people will figure out how to fix this.

The actual times scheduled in the event are fine and retained-the issue is how it displayed in all views.
