[Remind-Fans] Getting pre-notice overlapping with actual notice

Experimenting, I found a case I'm not sure is a bug or just
unsupported edge-case weirdness. If I have an event and ask for
notice:
REM Aug 8 +1 MSG %"This works %b%"%
and look at the calendar for that month
$ rem -ca 2020-8-1
it shows me both the actual event on the 8th and the pre-notice on the
7th as expected. But if an event's repeat overlaps with another
event, only the actual event shows up, not the pre-notice (the "+1"
below)
# %7 is the number of kids in the list
# %6 is the number of subjects in the list
REM +1 FROM Aug 17 2020 MSG %"Teach [ \
choose((($T - date(2020,8,17)) % 7) + 1 \
,"Alice" \
,"Bob" \
,"Charlie" \
,"David" \
,"Eleanor" \
,"Francis" \
,"Gwen" \
)] %b: [ \
choose((weekno($T, 0) % 6) + 1 \
,"Art" \
,"English" \
,"Math" \
,"Music" \
,"PE" \
,"Science" \
)]%
This calendar renders correctly for
$ rem -c 2020-8-1
but when rendered with
$ rem -ca 2020-8-1
I expected to see 2 entries on each day, one for the actual event and
one for the next day's pre-notice. E.g. on the 17th I expected to see
the current day's entry ("Teach Alice today: Art") as well as one for
the following day's entry ("Teach Bob tomorrow: Art"). But the
"+1" notice for Bob doesn't appear.
Is this something I can accomplish without duplicating the entire
event and tweaking the schedule?
Thanks!
