Description

Sentry error: https://thunderbird.sentry.io/issues/6066561987/?project=4505428124827648&query=is%3Aunresolved%20issue.priority%3A%5Bhigh%2C%20medium%5D&referrer=issue-stream&statsPeriod=14d&stream_index=11

Some servers can cause python-caldav to yell about developer errors. We should ensure this does not the server, and catch it. Maybe if we can reproduce it we can send the developer a github issue or email about the error.

Research direction

Start with the linked Sentry report and trace the python-caldav call path that produces the developer-error message. Reproduce it with an affected server if possible; done means the condition is handled without the application surfacing that error, with any upstream report decision recorded.
