Hi Jennifer--

I too have seen this.  I've noticed that it only seems to occur with
all-day events that I've been invited to by those using Outlook for
Windows.  Just out of curiosity: if you were to download Outlook 2011
for Mac (http://ist.mit.edu/services/software/office/2011) and setup
your Exchange account, does the event still show up as a 24-hour event
and not the all-day tray?  In my findings I have been unable to
reproduce this issue in Outlook 2011 for Mac, only on my iPhone or in
iCal.  If you test Outlook and find that it shows the all-day event
properly I will file a bug with Apple; in this case the issue would
most-likely be with Apple's implementation of ActiveSync.

On a side note: Apple released 10.7.3 beta 1 to developers last night. 
One of the areas of focus listed is iCal.  This issue is, as you noted,
hard to pin down but I will keep it on my radar.

My Exchange setup: Mac OS X 10.7.2; Apple Mail; iCal; iPhone w/ iOS 5.0.1

Best--
Andrew
