ICal events spanning midnight

Question

My work shifts often span midnight. If I enter an event spannng midnight in iCal on my iMac, it shows up on my iPod as two events, both with the same start and finish times, but on successive days, the day of the event itself and the day afterwards.

Answer 1

I'm seeing this too, but not for all spanning events.
I have 2 separate calendars to keep track of the schedules of people working in our network operations center. Every day there are events that go from either 10pm to 10am or 4pm to 4am the next day. The 10-10 schedules are in one calendar, the 4-4 schedules are in another schedule. Sometimes the 10-10 event doesn't span to the next day. Sometimes the 4-4 event doesn't span to the next day.
I checked the first 2 weeks of December, and here's the events which spanned or not.
12/1: 10-10 event event: spanned, 4-4 event: spanned
12/2: 10-10 event event: did not span, 4-4 event: did not span
12/3: 10-10 event event: spanned, 4-4 event: spanned
12/4: 10-10 event event: spanned, 4-4 event: spanned
12/5: 10-10 event event: spanned, 4-4 event: did not span
12/6: 10-10 event event: did not span, 4-4 event: spanned
12/7: 10-10 event event: spanned, 4-4 event: spanned
12/8: 10-10 event event: spanned, 4-4 event: did not span
12/9: 10-10 event event: did not span, 4-4 event: did not span
12/10: 10-10 event event: did not span, 4-4 event: spanned
12/12: 10-10 event event: spanned, 4-4 event: did not span
12/13: 10-10 event event: did not span, 4-4 event: spanned
12/14: 10-10 event event: spanned, 4-4 event: spanned
I also publish these two calendars on a WebDAV server, and when I subscribe to the calendars using another calendaring application (Sunbird), all of the spans work except for the 4-4 event on 12/2/07.
