Bug#519054: clock applet displays wrong appointment times for week after daylight saving change

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.20.3-5

The clock applet displays the wrong time for my appointments that
occur during the week after the 2009 Spring daylight saving change
(i.e., from March 8 to March 14).  It displays the correct time for
appointments before or after this week.  Evolution displays the
correct start times for all appointments.

I examined ~/.evolution/calendar/local/system/calendar.ics and the
start times for events during and after this week seemed consistent.
Here's an event that takes place during that week (and whose start time
the applet incorrectly displays as 10 PM):

Here's an event that takes place during the next week (and whose start
time the applet correctly displays as 6:45 PM):

My system timezone (according to /etc/timezone) and the timezone set
in Evolution's preferences are both America/Los_Angeles.  Evolution's
"Adjust for daylight saving time" preference is also set.
