Achievement Unlocked: it turns out that the GNOME Calendar app is actually more accurate (i.e. not actively misleading) than Google Calendar when it comes to displaying the correct timezone offset when scheduling meetings in the event editor dialog!

Behold these screenshots. When creating the event in Google Calendar today, it claims Berlin is GMT+2 on Oct 26th (the day after Germany's DST ends), while GNOME Calendar correctly says "UTC+1"!

Screenshot of Google Calendar's UI erronously saying GMT+2 for October 26th on CETScreenshot of GNOME Calendar's event editor correctly showing the forecasted timezone offset (UTC+1) on the future event's day.
