I think MobileOrg is being extended so maybe there will be an option to
synchronise active time stamps.

Yes, this is annoying.  I export my appointments to ICS with reminder
times but these are ignored by Google's Calendar, as you note.  As is
typical of Google, it would appear, their tools do the minimum they
think is necessary and no more.  I really must find a better alternative
on Android for a calendar that can grok org!
