I discovered that the extra tab came up if I saved the Barnes and Noble
calendar entry as a file and then imported it to evolution.  But it
still wasn't entered on the target date.  I then switched from Day to
List, and the entry showed up along with all the other entries for the
same event I thought I had made.  I deleted the extra ones and then
opened the remaining instance and fiddled with it a bit, and then it
showed up on the proper day.   There was a bit  of trouble opening it
because the event had a start date but no end date.

I don't really understand what is going on, but in the future I will be
able to save an event in my calendar with a little effort.
