I have the same issue. Or at least a very similar issue. I have narrowed it down to, moving an event to a calendar where it has not been before works. Moving it back does not work. Furthermore, I have noticed that the httpd logs for moves that work look something like this:

192.168.10.154 - - [21/Aug/2021:22:16:11 +0200] "MOVE /remote.php/dav/calendars/natlampen/test/898298CE-7594-471C-BB91-861158B4D3F7.ics HTTP/1.1" 201 -

Moves that do not looks something like:

192.168.10.154 - - [21/Aug/2021:22:16:28 +0200] "MOVE /remote.php/dav/calendars/natlampen/faelles/08925BB8-0D08-481A-977D-E068FEE04F13.ics HTTP/1.1" 400 270

Basically the move in some cases gets an 400 instead of 201 response.

Searching a bit more. This seems to be the issue:
