Yes, that is because the calendar file is in a different format.
There is no sync protocol for the calendar.  BitPim just reads
and writes a file on the filesystem.  Being able to do so doesn't
mean the file is valid for the phone.

Ignore all warnings like that.  They are very annoying but it is not
a bug in the code.

It looks like they have made each record one byte longer.  Please
delete the calendar files as detailed in my earlier message
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.bitpim.devel/229
and reboot the phone.  Then make some events where the name is
as long as possible.

See if you can figure out where the extra byte(s) went.  
The existing description is in p_lgvx4400 as
scheduleevent.
