The time of one of the individual events in the repeating event below was changed, and afterwards I can't get rid of the event reminder - Every time I dismiss it, it pops up again.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a repeating event with an alarm, starting e.g. at 8:30 AM.
2. Change the time of one of the individual instances of the repeating event to a later point, e.g., 9:00 AM.
3. Wait for the reminder of the event.
4. Dismiss the reminder.
Actual Results:  
The reminder pops up again with the same event.

Expected Results:  
The reminder should not pop up until the next instance of the event.

The actual event, verbatim from ICS file:

What kind of calendar are you using? Local? CalDAV? Google? We are working on a bug that affects reminders in the latest nightlies, I'd suggest testing with the latest nightly a day after bug 494140 is marked fixed.

I'm using a local ICS file. I'll keep an eye out on bug 494140.
