google calender,... event repeat until never, limited to 366

In google calendar faq one can find that events iterations "currently" are limited to 366.
You can create an event to repeat until never, however.
This event will "stop" to be in your google calender 366 iterations AFTER the first instance. If you have a repeating event every working day (like the event "working hours") supposedly never to end, the event stops displaying some 510 days (a year and some months) later (510 - 74 weekend days).

BUT
If you sync that calender (with that event) to iCal (for instance), the event does NOT stop (in iCal) after the expiration date....
So on my google calendar I added a new event (copy of previous), never to end, to be started the day the previous event "disappeared".
After a refresh of my iCal, I found the event twice. Apparently the never-to-end repetitive event *is* exported as never to end, only in google calendar, it stops after these limit iterations.

Workaround:
make the original event "stop" repetition the last day that was reachable, and make the next one start the first now empty.

e.g.
start working days 2007-01-02 .... until 2008-05-26
new event (copy original) start 2008-05-27 ... until (never)... will see when it disappears again.
