Is there really an END:VCALENDAR missing at the end? Or did you just 
omit it?

There's nothing wrong with this. KOrganizer can read version 1.0, but it 
writes only version 2.0.

I have put the above version 1.0 calendar in a file and imported it into 
KOrganizer 4.4 RC2. It was imported as an event from 0:00 till 12:00 
(which corresponds to DTSTART and DTEND). The result was very different 
from your result with KOrganizer 3.5.

I have also put the above version 2.0 calendar in a file, added the 
END:VCALENDAR and added this file as calendar. Charlie's Birthday was 
shown correctly.

So, with KOrganizer 4.4 RC2 importing seems to work although one does 
not get the same (correct, as far as I can tell) result as with 
KOrganizer 3.5. Of course, this doesn't help you much, as you are 
looking for a solution which works with KOrganizer 3.5. :-/

Ingo
