Well, I cannot give you steps to reproduce, because the next time I sync 
it will sync just fine. It seems to happen when I haven't synced for a 
few days. I also notice that syncing takes _much_ longer when I haven't 
synced for a few days, why is that?

The steps are easy: Change data (ie event start and end times) in iCal 
and sync. The data will have changed back to what was still saved on the 
handheld, but only if the syncing is one of the slow variety, which 
happens more likely when I haven't synced for a few days.

If only I could.

Yes, Tiger. No, I don't have any other sync services at all, no .Mac, no 
Chronos, no Entourage, no nothing. Just plain old iCAl and Addressbook.

I reported the opposite with Addressbook the other week, but never got a 
reply. In that case I had changed addresses on the handheld, after 
syncing they got overwritten with what was still saved in 
AppleAddressbook. Very annoying, because I cannot trust my device to 
keep addresses I change on the road.

This always happens with a slow sync. I am sure it is related.
