Commas are not allowed in iCalendar timezone names. (Because in at least
one context where they appear, it would be ambiguous whether the comma
was part of the name, or was the separator between the name and the
following item.) Older versions of Outlook/Exchange used TZIDs like the
one you noted. I think they changed the "," to "/" in more recent
versions.

Anyway, we added a kludge to libical somewhere to make it able to deal
with the bad names, but probably the importing code goes through some
code path that doesn't have the kludge.
