Actually my last comment was only half right. indicator-datetime does
have a bug that doesn't set the fallback timezone for EDS to use when
loading events, but there is a bigger problem in qtorganizer5-eds.

So, I'm in UTC-6 and just used ubuntu-clock-app to create a one-time
alarm to kick on Wed Feb 27th at 9 PM. What gets saved to tasks.ics is
this:

    DTSTART:20140227T030000
    DUE:20140227T030000
    SUMMARY:Alarm

Note the lack of timezone information. That makes this a "floating"
time, meaning that the alarm will kick at that specified time regardless
of timezone. This is a Good Thing, since that means our M-F 6am wakeup
alarms will kick at 6am even if we travel to a different timezone.

So that's the good news. The bad news, the kick time is floating at
2014-02-27 03:00:00. That means EDS being sent a VTODO that kicks at 3am
no matter what timezone it's in.... and that's why indicator-datetime is
showing what it's showing.
