Could there be a way of enforcing it to escape the CRLF using the Advanced Options > vCard/vCal common settings >
a. Escape semicolon in non-compound property values
c. Characters to escape in property values
... options inside the iSync Plugin-Maker?

I'm away from my Mac right now* (work insists I use a Dell box) so I can't do anything until this evening.* Not quite true, I've got a hackintosh netbook with me, but the the plugin maker doesn't fit on the 1024x600 res screen.

Will do I can't give it a go till later either. I have deadlines due today 
I am determined to get this problem resolved though. Annoying not to be able to set event alarms on the move. Especially as the event is then completely ignored by iCal.

Can confirm that my problem has the same problem, i.e. events created with an alarm on the N900 dont get synced to the Mac :-(
Trying to fiddle with the options now, let's hope one of them solves this.

OK thanks joergen, glad its not just us!
I have tried using the settings relating to escapes, CRLF and whitespace but no joy. In fact I don't see any of the settings inside the Advanced Options > vCard/vCal common settings taking any effect at all. I tried, for example, to put AALARM in the 'properties to ignore' list but it still continues to try and parse AALARM. I wanted to see if the event would work if AALARM was stripe out on import.
Should that work? or is it only for custom "X-xxx-xxxxx" properties?

I think we're really not going to get this to work with the software we have. Digging through the detailed iSync log :-
That is a piece of Objective-C code buried who knows where in the code stack that is spitting the dummy at the extra CRLF characters. We could raise a bug with Apple that they are not correctly parsing VCALENDAR entries (good luck with that), or we petition Nokia to suppress the extra CRLF in an update. If I knew where the N900 was generating it and I had the source I'd go and fix it. That is far more likely to happen than changing Apple code. Unfortunately, this isn't really a bug in the N900 as far as I can see so I doubt it would get much traction. 
Code:
TIME: 20:51:26.893 THREAD: 0x116af5bd0 TYPE: .sync.Parser.VCal LEVEL: ERROR LINE: 548 FUNCTION: -[VCalParser parseData:] DEPTH: 11 LENGTH: 315 Failed to parse vCal (1) near index 97: BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE;CHARSET=UTF-8:= Fffffff UID:490 DTSTART:20100118T211500Z DTEND:20100118T221500Z ATTACH: SEQUENCE:0 LAST-MODIFIED:20100118T205403Z DCREATED:20100118T205403Z AALARM:20100118T210000 ;PT3M ; END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

It looks like someone needs to open a bug with Maemo on this.
strnosemi is made up of a sequence of zero or more instances of any of the following :- nonsemicolons \; / \ CRLF followed by zero or more instances of nonsemicolons.
Or put it another way strnosemi can contain any character, including CRLF provided that all semicolons are preceded by \

Haven't been lucky with the options either :-(
I am pretty sure that this is a bug in the N900; i'm pretty sure a newline is supposed to be escaped in a vcal property, unless one is specifying quoted-printable as the encoding. (So the newine in the summary is probably ok in a formal sense, but it seems to be bogus to start the string with a newline anyways).

I just synced my MacBook (10.4.11) with the N900 somewhat succesfully. iSync version is 2.4. It's very nice that the plugin worked with 10.4.
This is from my mac:
