Note that Org mode simply uses icalendar functionality to export diary sexps. Specifically, `icalendar--convert-float-to-ical' is responsible for what you are seeing and the logic appears to be deliberate. > RFC 5545 says in 3.8.5.3.

The recurrence set generated with a > "DTSTART" property value not synchronized with the recurrence rule is > undefined." SHOULD is not MUST, so it is not too bad. However, may you report this to Emacs via M-x report-emacs-bug? The problem is not on Org mode side in this case. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
