I guess it is a bug. The reason it happens is that the "-n" option
essentially adds an infinite delta to each reminder. That is, you
can think of it as changing:
REM something MSG foo
to:
REM something +Inf MSG foo
which always causes the reminder to trigger. Now the code that processes
triggers is the same as the code that processes IFTRIG, so the IFTRIGs get
a +Inf delta, which makes them always trigger.
It is too hard to fix this, so I will most likely change the documentation
to say that IFTRIG statements can mess up the "-n" mode. :)
