Thanks for all of your suggestions. I tried a whole lot of things, for 
instance installing and removing the whole Horde_Autoloader_Cache 
package, deleting all of the cache files, reinstalling all pear 
packages, reinstalling php and what not.

But, as I found out (much, much later) the problem was in fact one of 
access permissions, but not the way I had thought. I had checked the 
file permissions, and they were OK, but the problem was in the directory 
permissions. For some reason unbeknown to me, the 
"kronolith/lib/Icalendar" directory had permissions "2700", that is no 
read permissions for the group and setgid bit set (access is normally 
granted via the group permissions here). I have no idea why there would 
be a setgid bit set but no read permissions for the group. I didn't find 
any other directory with that kind of strange permissions set, i.e. 
"FreeBusy" and all the other stuff inside "kronolith/lib" had read 
access for the group set.

If anyone has got an idea what might have caused this, I'd be glad to 
hear it. Otherwise, I'd have to assume it was some randomly flipped bit 
in memory or on disk. ;-)
