Summary:

All devices go off at once when an event occurs

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Own an iPhone, iPad, one or more Macs synced to MobileMe/iCloud.
2) Schedule an appointment in iCal, with an alarm.
3) Wait for appointment.

Expected Results:

4) Only one device in each geographical location, chosen by which you have most recently used, plays the audible alert.

Actual Results:

4) Every device you own beeps and chirps and demands that you handle an alert box before it'll go away.

Regression:

Notes:

Obviously, requires location for devices. But a rough check should be fine for eliminating most of the duplication.

Comments

I definitely want the sound to happen on all devices. It'd be too easy to miss otherwise — I'd have to remember to tap my phone before getting up from my computer or risk not getting a calendar notification.
