No.

Your event had:
  <gd:when startTime="2005-04-03T03:00:00-05:00"  
endTime="2005-04-03T03:01:00-04:00"></gd:when>

1) The DST transition does not occur at 3:00 in the way that you mean.  
The local clock goes from 1:59:59 to 3:00:00 at the advancement of the  
clock and from 1:59:59 to 1:00:00 at it's return in most North  
American and European systems. The local time 3:01 is always 1 minute  
after 3:00 in these systems.

2) You aren't giving your times in a consistent local time  
representation. The start time is in the UTC-5 zone and the end time  
is in the UTC-4 zone.

3) There is no daylight saving time transition in UTC. You are  
specifying your times relative to UTC, so as I wrote before your start  
time at 03:00:00-05:00 (08:00:00 UTC) is 59 minutes after  
03:01:00-04:00 (07:01:00 UTC).

I believe that what you want is:

   <gd:when startTime="2005-04-03T01:59:00-05:00"  
endTime="2005-04-03T03:00:00-04:00"></gd:when>

which steps from 06:59:00 to 07:00:00 UTC, or even

  <gd:when startTime="2005-04-03T01:59:59-05:00"  
endTime="2005-04-03T03:00:00-04:00"></gd:when>

I've just created an event with that gd:when and it visually spans 1  
entire hour in the UI.
