Thanks for reporting this. I can reproduce this too. As you say, the 
time zone change is synched correctly on non-repeataing timed events, 
but repeating events sync the event time zone time, and not the 
handheld time zone. We will log this as a bug and test it against our 
upcoming new version to try and fix the problem.

WORKAROUND
So, if you need to enter iCal events happening in other time zones, the 
only work around is to enter individual timed events, instead of 
repeating events. Then they will sync correctly.

Thanks!
