Calendar crashes opening iCloud-sync'd events

I receive many invites from co-workers who use Outlook / Exchange to create appointments. I receive the appointment, accept and add it to iCal on my MacBook Pro (10.7.3) just fine. I sync my calendars to my iPhone and iPad via iCloud.I can open the appointment and view it on the MacBook and via the web-iCloud interface, but if I try to view it on my iPhone or iPad, the Cal app will crash immediately. It happens with 100% of the accepted invites on both iOS devices. I've rebooted the devices to no avail.

Any alarms associated with the appointment work on the iOS devices, but I just can't view the appointment. Manually created appointments have no problems.

Suggestions?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Bump. No one else experiences this? It's so consistent, on both my iOS devices, I would think it's a widespread thing...

Another bump. Are these forums still being used?

I have a case open with Apple on this problem and it's been escalated to engineering. I guess this means it's a bug that will hopefully get fixed with a future iOS release.

Unfortunately, not. I have a case open with Apple and it has been escalated to Engineering. That's all I know right now. They are using my Apple ID to 'test' the problem and don't think they've duplicated it. You might want to call in yourself and open a case. Multiple users might be the only way they can track down the problem.

Apple reported that they couldn't duplicate the problem, so it never went further.

I no longer have the issue myself because the company from which I was receiving Calendar invites changed the way I have to access their email. I now use Apple Mail & Calendar to receive email & invites via an Exchange sync setup rather than the former method using POP. Not sure why that would matter, but the same invites work now.
