Ok... I think I found a way to get this from MAPI...

There is a named property (GUID {00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, ID
0x8586) that appears to be the Contact's name. This is present on birthday
and anniversary events but not on regular events.

Ugly, but no different to the code I already had to get contact email
addresses via MAPI (to avoid the security dialogs).
