Ok.... here's what I found:

Google Calendar is significantly smarter than Evolution 2.30.

I usually enter events in my calendar through an iPhone and occasionally
directly by Google Calendar's page.

In either case, I don't need to specify a timezone for each individual
appointment.

Since I enter the appointments from a device set to JST, in a calendar
set to JST, in a location that conforms to JST, Google Calendar makes
appointments in JST.

Evolution 2.30 however, assumes that appointments in a JST calendar, on
a JST device, in a location that conforms to JST, but without an
explicit timezone specification, are GMT.

This issue can be resolved by adding a timezone specification to each
and every appointment in your Google Calendar.

Good news: Evolution 2.32 seems a bit smarter. Although it initially
shows the same behavior, it seems to resync appointments to the correct
time zone after a logout. Unfortunately 2.32 is not fully compatible
with Maverick; it won't be able to send events to gnome-panel 2.30, and
upgrading the entire distribution to Natty should be less painful that
calculating the list of backported dependencies to get it all working in
Maverick.
