I'm afraid there's currently no workaround. The code in the WebDAV
backend will have be changed. I remember that the original intention was
to only filter out the "SyncEvolution" parameter, but as it is
implemented now, other parameters are treated as error instead of
preserving them.

I can try to fix this in 1.5.1.
