Research direction
No file or test is identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the EXDATE case with aCal+ and Thunderbird against Calendar 6.4.0, then trace the calendar app's recurrence handling to compare the three deleted occurrences. Done means all deleted events are absent in the Nextcloud calendar app as they are in the other clients.
