I only codified "the Thursday after the first Wednesday" because the
formulation in use at the time ("the first Thursday, unless it's the
first of the month, in which case the second Thursday") seemed too
verbose and confusing.

iCal can handle it trivially:

RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=2,3,4,5,6,7,8;BYDAY=TH
