OK, I was thinking it might be related to the time zone used with DTSTART.

Most iCalendar servers and client now support iCalendardata without a 
VTIMEZONE assuming the time zone id being used is one of the standard IANA 
time zones. If you are sending the iCalendar data to an "unknown" system 
(e.g. via email) then it is safer to always include the VTIMEZONE.
