This is possible via calendar folder ACLs.

This private marking is some OL heritage and not really useful. I wish KO 
would not have it.

Instead tell people to use another calendar folder with different access 
permissions for private appointments.

No this is not reasonable possible as access is controlled per calendar not 
per appointment.

Unsubscribing should help. Otherwise file a bug report.

Use a script which sets this default ACL.
