Roundcube Contact Birthday Irregularities

[kolab.user at use.startmail.com]

I don't know if related but after I finally managed to migrate contacts from my test zarafa to a test kolab 3.3 I noticed the following:

If iOS device is connected to kolab 3.3 via ActiveSync protocol no birthday is displayed correctly.
If the same iOS device  contacts turned off in ActiveSync and configured via CardDAV then all birthdays are displayed correctly.
Zarafa via ActiveSync has never had any birthday display problems.
