I've been trying to re-create this problem, but I do get the alerts I 
expect to get.

One thing that might confuse some people: The REPEAT setting counts
"across colors". E.g. if you have REPEAT=30 (the default, 30 minutes
between alerts), and the sequence of events goes like

  22:05 Test goes yellow - alert (yellow) is sent
  22:35 Test still yellow - repeat alert (yellow) is sent
  22:45 Test goes red. No alert is sent because it is only 10 minutes
        since the last alert went out.
  23:05 Test still red - now an alert (red) is sent.
