I can confirm. I tried deleting my Google calendars and re-adding them.
When adding a calendar, Evolution prompts for a password to retrieve the
list of calendars associated with the Google account. This part still
works. However, once the calendar is selected, the repeated prompts for
the password begin.

Workaround: Use CalDAV, as documented here:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358.
Google doesn't have instructions specifically for Evolution but the
instructions for Sunbird/iCal are fairly easily adapted for Evolution.

According to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583374 it is
intended that CalDAV replace the Google Calendar import. In fact,
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588856 indicates that code
was committed in 2.27.5 to migrate Google Calendar accounts to CalDAV.
So I guess the question is, why is this not working?
