The trigdate() is not necessarily the current date, it is the first
matching day after the current day.
If you add $Td == day(current()) to your condition, the code works as
you expect:

    $ cat test.rem
    set a_day 0
    rem 2024-08-27 *2 SKIP SATISFY 1
    if trigvalid() && $Td == day(current())
      set a_day 1
    endif
    rem [day(current())] msg [a_day]

    $ remind -s+1 test.rem
    2024/08/25 * * * * 0
    2024/08/26 * * * * 0
    2024/08/27 * * * * 1
    2024/08/28 * * * * 0
    2024/08/29 * * * * 1
    2024/08/30 * * * * 0
    2024/08/31 * * * * 1
