I can confirm this issue in KDE4.2 beta2. Your diagnosis is correct that it is related to time zone. I happen to be in the UK, which is on UTC at this time of year.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Set time zone to Europe/London (effectively UTC)
2) Create an event that runs from 2300 on day 1 to 0100 on day 2
3) The event is displayed correctly. In fact it displays as two parts labelled 1/2 and 2/2 at the correct times, which seems sensible to me.
4) Change timezone to America/Los Angeles. Settings > Configure KOrganiser > Time and Date
5) When presented with the dialog 'Keep Absolute Times' choose keep times
6) The result is that the same event now appears as two duplicate events on consecutive days.
