Hi Matt, Thanks for the encouragement. While these changes have been rolled back, we'll have the new functionality available again as soon as possible.
I've addressed your original concerns about reminders inline below...

Ryan and I tested this against the new release and didn't see the problems you're reporting. The reminders were successbully created in the Google data feed as well as being available in the UI. I've seen this behavior (alarm clock but no reminder) in the past when trying to use an unsupported period for the reminder time. The value used for reminder time must be one of the values in the drop down box on the UI. Maybe your issue is related, but you should receive an "Illegal gd:reminder value specified" 400 error if you use an unsupported value. > > For shared events the reminder can't be set through the API.

One of the new features of reminders is the addition of a "method" attribute that can be set to values such as email, sms, alert, etc. If a reminder is created with a time period specified, but no assiciated method, then the calendar's default reminder methods will be used with the time specified in the <gd:remider> tag. Unless you've updated the calendar-scoped reminder settings, there won't be any reminder methods to default to, resulting in no reminders being set on the event. Wow, that was complicated! Rest assured there will be new documentation to cover this in the Google data "Kinds" documentation.
