I've been digging the Hobbit-emaillist and found something that might be applicable to this problem. First, the email correspondence between you and Peter Murray:

What happens is the first alert (FORMAT=TEXT) goes out at 10 minutes, nothing at 20 minutes, both at 30 miuntes, nothing at 40 minutes, both at 50 minutes, and so on.
Confirmed that this is a bug in all current Hobbit versions. It will be fixed in 4.1.2 - you can pick up the latest snapshot for a working version." [snip]
Second, from the Changes-file from 4.1.1 -> 4.1.2 (I run 4.0.4):
[snip] "* When multiple recipients of an alert had different minimum duration and/or repeat-settings, they would mostly use only the settings for the first recipient." [snip]
Can you confirm this?
