I'm not 100% sure it's fixed, but here's what I did and what happened:
1. I uninstalled the previous version of the timezone tool and installed the
one you mentioned
2. I ran the Time Zone Daylight Savings Update Mode, it said nothing was
found that needed updated
3. I ran the Permanent Time Zone Move Mode, it found 6 that needed fixed, so
I let it fix them. Since I had my device plugged in while doing this, it
automatically synchronized afterwards. I noticed the incorrect appointment
time on my device screen change to the correct appointment time (hooray!),
but then a few seconds later it changed back to the wrong time again.
4. I then ran the Permanent Time Zone Move Mode again, and it found 2
appointments that needed fixing, so once again I let it fix them. And once
again my device automatically synchronized and I saw the appointment time on
the device screen change to the correct appointment time, and luckily this
time it stayed.
So hopefully everything will work correctly from now on, it just makes me a
little nervous when something looks like it tried to pretend to be fixed yet
I still end up using that process to fix it. But anyway, I want to thank you
very, very much for helping me find a solution that works. Thanks.
