It certainly seems plausible. I'm not sure why that'd happen --
SyncOptions only alters the playlist (restoring a saved playlist, which
could be empty) when a client 
1) unsyncs from a group
OR
2) powers *off* with SyncOptions set to unsync at power off
Neither condition seems to hold here.

I could imagine a problem if
- player 69 is playing
- player F3 is quiet and has no playlist
- someone asks player F3 to sync to player 69 and
- SyncOptions was configured to wait until the next song
- player F3 turns off before 69 hit a new song
- ...time elapses...
- player F3 wakes up to play an alarm
- player 69 *stops* playing its song 
- SyncOptions notices the song on 69 has stopped (sees new song NONE),
and syncs F3 to 69

That would explain both being quiet. Might something like that have
happened? At that point, there should be a saved playlist for F3, but I
can't immediately see another explanation for SyncOptions sabotaging
F3's alarm.

SyncOptions should probably give up on syncing F3 to 69 when F3 powers
off, and when an alarm starts on F3. Similarly, if SyncOptions notices
that a would-be-master stops playing music, it should probably forget
about all the would-be-joiners, though that could get tricky for
would-be-joiners still displaying "waiting for next track" screens.
Alternately, SyncOptions could wait until the would-be-master started
playing an actual track to join others waiting on it.
