Hi, thanks for your report. I did not immediately see your mail due to 
an email config problem.

Regarding your earlier mail, I fixed the typo.

Yes, org-mode does not recognize the [UTC], that is just a helper for 
exactly this case: The ical's timezone is emitted in case it is 
different from your DEFAULT_TZ. For me it worked fine so far.

What it does is to set the default timzone in ri_cal which I read as 
being enough, but it is possible that it is not. In fact, I did not test 
the timezone features very much.

could you please try the follwing:

Subsitute the second line in orgTimeSpanTZ

def orgTimeSpanTZ(tstart, tend, repeaterClause = nil)
  res = orgTimeSpan(tstart, tend, repeaterClause)

for
  res = orgTimeSpan(tstart.ruby_value, tend.ruby_value, repeaterClause)

?

It's not tested but might do the job.

HTH,

Simon
