Here's a simple patch for Trusty. It may also work in newer releases.
I've made a very short test but it seemed to work. Still, more testing is advisable!

The patch makes the list of upcoming events display, for today, the events that END before the current time, instead of the ones that START before it.
That means all-day events and ongoing events will now be displayed.

I think this is the best behavior. This is also the behavior of the Android calendar/agenda widget according to my tests, for example.
Today's all-day events should definitely be displayed! Displaying ongoing events is more debatable, but I still think they should be displayed.
If these events were not being displayed because the list only displays 5 events at most, just increase the limit! Actually, that limit should be increased anyway (unless there's a bigger problem).
