Apple says iOS 6.1 Exchange bug fix is coming
Apple has published a support article letting users know that an iOS 6.1 bug fix is coming that will correct Exchange server issues users have been having. In the support article Apple details the symptoms of the bug:

This can occur with iOS 6.1 and Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1 or later, or Microsoft Exchange Online (Office365).

If you do experience the symptoms described above, disable then re-enable the Exchange calendar on your iOS device using the steps below.
