When I import the following ics file, the event is imported without the end time, ie. the time this event should stop repeating.

Looks like the UNTIL phrase in RRULE gets ignored.

The file itself is an extract from an Outlook export done with outlook2ical.js from ryanwatkins.net

                                        ^
looks like there's a trailing '0'; though I haven't had a look at what happens

You are right. When this 0 is deleted the import works OK.

I assume this should be treated as an invalid input so I close the bug as invalid. But if the project's policy for invalid input is different you might consider reopening it.
