For what it's worth ---> after doing a hard reset on my phone (for other reasons than this) I did the following and my appts are all fine

1) apply DST fix to the PC
2) made sure my Default Location (Setup Wizard) AND my Time Zone (Clocks and Alarms) on the phone were *both* set to the same time zone as the syncing PC
3) Did the active sync

I guess if the phone and the syncing PC were/had to be in a different time zone I'd have to be concerned about the "auto network time sync" option, but since in my case they don't, I'm not concened
