Mike, Make sure you have the same timezone on your Mac and your Droid. I had similar problems in the past and it was due to either Google, my Mac or my phone being in a different timezone and not understanding when my country adds or removes and hour from the time.
It seems to be related to one of them knowing events that last all day and another making them into events that go from midnight to midnight (slightly different). I guess you're seeing birthdays as all day events and anniversaries as midnight to midnight. Anyway, if it then gets the timezone wrong, something going from midnight to midnight will either go from 0100 to 0100 or 2300 to 2300 or whatever (depending upon the difference between the two timezones) -- still lasting for 24 hours but taking it over two dates. What makes it more frustrating is: (a) Americans and American software assume the whole world changes their clocks on the dates they do for their "daylight savings"; (b) not all events get corrupted -- so you don't which you can trust and which are broken! Nevertheless, I hope this explains it and helps.
