All Times from Google 2 Hours off

I have a Google Calendar set to Berlin time (GMT +1) and a Backpack account also set to (GMT +1), set to 24 hour time format.
All events from the subscribed Google Calendar appear 2 hours early in Backpack.
There are no differences before/after the DST changes.
To get correct times, I have to set up my account for Moscow time (GMT +3).
However, this breaks reminders (both calendar items and standalone reminders) and time entries in the calendar.
Anyone else noticed this bug? Any chance for a fix?

Edit: After subscribing to another public German iCal feed, I noticed that times are 2 hours early for this one as well, but times after the October DST changer are only 1 hour early. So DST seems to affect this. The non-difference with repeating appointments from GCal seems to come from a before/after-DST-change difference in GCal.

Edit (2): This is weird. Now I switched to SyncMyCal for syncing Outlook w/ GCal (which results in times being correct in GCal), and now repeating events show up correctly in BP Cal, while single events from GCal are still 2 hours early (1 h after DST change in October).

Edit (3): Even if nobody’s reading this (as it seems), I compared with an iCal feed from 30 Boxes, and BP Calendar shows both repeating events and single events before/after DST change correctly when they’re coming from 30B. From Google, however still only repeating events are correct, single ones 2 hours early before, 1 hour early after DST change.

Oh, and all events from Google show up correctly in iCal.

I have just noticed that all of my events in BP from Google are showing up as +4 hours. I am GMT -5 Eastern US. iCal and Google Calendar display correctly.
