Hmm - there's been one more report like that. So I probably messed up something.
Will look at it later tonight.

The culprit is line 1488 of hobbitd/do_alert.c. I remember looking at this and thinking "this looks wrong" and then changing it ... well, it wasn't wrong so instead of fixing a bug, I broke it.
It's a simple fix: Change a 0 to a 1 (literally one bit that makes a difference). After the post-RC4 patch, line 1488 reads
rpt = find_repeatinfo(alert, recip, 0);
It should be rpt = find_repeatinfo(alert, recip, 1);
