Additional info
I am not sure if this is an issue with Nextcloud's calend itself, but the fact that multiple clients fail to sync the calendar is what prompted me to open a bug report here. In case this turns out to be an issue with the clients, I have also opened a related one in KDE's bug tracker here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476786

Research direction
No source files or tests are identified in the report. Reproduce with a birthday calendar and DAVx5 or Merkuro, then compare the calendar's online events with its CalDAV synchronization response; done means the birthday entries appear on client devices.
