I played with this in thunderbird (lightning), and from what I can tell,
for exceptions it stores the same uid as the original event, it creating
a new event identical to the first.

So say every wednesday, recurring event at Sparks School

However, Wednesday, the 24th it's been moved to Sparks Park,

the original recurring event would remain the same, and the new event
would drop the rrule, change the location, keep the same uid as the old
event, change dtstart and dtend to this events date/time, and then add
another rule called recurrence-id that appears to be the same as this
events dtstart.
