How does the backend detect duplicates? I thought it didn't support UID
+RECURRENCE-ID. Some heuristic?

Use ITEM_REPLACED and return the ID of the existing item, regardless
whether the item was stored or not. ITEM_MERGED would mark the existing
item data for later transmission (well, if it worked on the client
side...), which should not be necessary in this case because the
add/update of that item should have been reported already earlier.
