[Remind-Fans] OMIT/SKIP and rem2dav workaround?

Hello,

One of my email hosts offers DAV, which I've been using to connect
remind with Android/Google calendar via rem2dav and DAVx on F-Droid.

After years of using remind, I finally learned how to use OMIT/SKIP
(Thank you Tim Chase! https://blog.thechases.com/posts/remind/). I
happily started using OMIT/SKIP, but learned after a missed appt. that
the reminders in the PUSH/POP OMIT context weren't making it to Google
calendar and hence, I wasn't getting a reminder on my phone!

So this makes it to Google calendar via rem2dav:

REM Tue AT 9:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG appt
REM Jun 11 2024 AT 9:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG no appt
REM Jun 25 2024 AT 9:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG no appt
REM Jul 02 2024 AT 9:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG no appt

but this does not:

PUSH
   OMIT Jun 11 2024 MSG no appt
   OMIT Jun 25 2024 MSG no appt
   OMIT Jul 02 2024 MSG no appt
   REM Tue SKIP AT 9:00 DURATION 1:00 MSG appt.
POP

Someone posted a (maybe?) related question on stack exchange
(https://superuser.com/questions/1838057/synchronize-reminders-into-multiple-calendars),
but I'm not certain it is relevant. I am exporting multiple separate
reminder files, if that matters.

Just checking with you all to see if you have a workaround or other
suggestion(s) before I either spend hours figuring out a kludge or give
up OMIT contexts.

Thank you for your time and thoughts.

Brian
