I looked at the code and to me it looks like a Toltec bug then. The  
resource management code only takes information from the iTip message  
and stores it on the IMAP server. It does not does not mangle the list  
of attendees as far as I can see.

Could you change the invitation handling to "manual" for your test  
user so that the messages don't get processed automatically. This way  
you could take a look at the invitation you get from Toltec.

Cheers,

Gunnar
