This is treated as a special case by the Synthesis engine's merge rules:
because many phones truncate such fields and thus unintentionally remove
data on the server when merging back changes from them, the engine
checks whether the beginning of the description is the same on client
and server and if so, keeps the longer version of the description.

If you don't want this behavior, then you can remove merge="lines" from
the DESCRIPTION entry in 10calendar-fieldlist.xml. If you put that
modified file into ~/.config/syncevolution-xml/datatypes, it'll survive
updates of the system's config files.

I'd rather not change the config that comes with SyncEvolution because I
expect that the current behavior is useful for more users - how often is
a description really shortened?
