The import fails because the UID already exists in the system. This is more of a feature than a bug.

Technically it might be a feature. On the UX perspective something is clearly missing. Let's say the US would be : As a participant to a meeting, I'd like my being calendar updated when the meeting is canceled or rescheduled in order to avoid hassle and potential mistakes caused by manually updating it. 😉

I would say that things evolved a little bit since I filled this issue. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
