Martin, so nice to see you again over here in a clean new thread :)
So, we're still investigating this issue and believe that it's a
combination of how embedded Calendar displays events when not logged
in to your Google Account and behavior specific to the Safari browser.
Currently, your embedded Google Calendar will use your local computer
time zone settings as a foundation for determining the time at which
events are displayed.

The team is looking into ways to improve how embedded calendar
displays events according to time zone information and your comments
will be kept in mind for any future developments we make.

Thanks again for posting.
