It looks as though libical1 may be the culprit.

I installed libical0 and removed libical1. A test event synced correctly.

Then replaced libical0 with libical1 and synced a second test event. The

Do I still need to do this in both (X)ubuntu versions, or would it
suffice to do it with the two different libical versions (which would be
a lot simpler)?
