Event dialog is messed up if being subscribed to old Sunbird calendar (Error "standard has no properties" in calUtils.js)

1. Start Sunbird with clean profile
2. Subscribed to 
   http://dl.erweiterungen.de/kalenderdateien/Schulferien_2007-2008_SN.ics
3. Open New Event or New Task dialog

Actual results:
Dialog is messed up. All event and task controls are displayed at once.
Console shows:
    Error: standard has no properties
    Source File: chrome://calendar/content/calUtils.js
    Line: 168

From looking at the .ics file it seems that the calendar was created using Sunbird 0.2 or the old Calendar extension:

    BEGIN:VCALENDAR
    VERSION
     :2.0
    PRODID
     :-//Mozilla.org/NONSGML Mozilla Calendar V1.0//EN
    BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
    TZID
     :/Mozilla.org/BasicTimezones/GMT
    LOCATION
     :GMT
    END:VTIMEZONE

Attachment: patch v1

guessSystemTimezone() throws an exception in this case, which screws up the dialog at the end of the day.
