Aldo, please try this out with a current nightly linked from this article http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/calendar/2008/03/08_rc2_is_stuck.html 

There have been quite some fixes for the alarm system since 0.7, so this may already be fixed.

I downloaded 0.8, and it still has the problem.

Here is what happens:  as soon as I dismiss the reminder, it creates a new reminder (in the pop up window) of the same event at the same time.  Thus, the reminders are never cleared.

The attached .ics file contains a repeating event series without alarm and only one occurrence of that repeating series with an alarm set -> same as Bug 389251.
