Alternately, you could say that Google is being under pedantic. RFC
2445 specifically recognizes that recurring events can start on dates
or time that do not conform to the recurrence rules. In section
4.8.5.4 you can find this example:
Every other week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday until December 24,
1997, but starting on Tuesday, September 2, 1997:
DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:19970902T090000
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=2;UNTIL=19971224T000000Z;WKST=SU;
BYDAY=MO,WE,FR
==> (1997 9:00 AM EDT)September 2,3,5,15,17,19,29;October
1,3,13,15,17
(1997 9:00 AM EST)October 27,29,31;November 10,12,14,24,26,28;
December 8,10,12,22
If indeed, Google is throwing 500s because of that, it is an error.
