I got an older version (0.9.5)... all of this makes me think that it probably is better to just use .ics files for everything. Just found out that google offers a 'private' link to each calendar as xml, ical or html so that you can easily download it using wget without needing to log in... >>[...] > Perhaps, but one of the things I want to do is to share a couple of my > Google calendars with specific groups of people.

You can point google calendar to an .ics file and it will import it (settings->import calendar) (see [1]), so I would think you could create different .ics files via org-export-icalendar-..., upload them to a public webpage (but with a cryptic name and directory browsing disabled, so that only you and google calendar can find the files) and google imports them as different calendars and updates them too.
