Hi, I have same problem and CA told me the same thing.
I agree to CA that if Spectrum receives a trap, it should associate it with all devices that have that IP. But if that IP is in the IP Redundancy Excluded List, Spectrum shouldn't associate the trap with that device. In your case, IP 1.1.1.1 is an "illegal" address and your cluster shouldn't send traps with that address. But you can be using 10.10.10.1 and 10.10.10.2 as local point-to-point addresses between two routers and at the same time, you can have a local server with IP 10.10.10.1. When your server sends a trap with his own "legal" IP, Spectrum will associate the alarm with all both routers and server. I think this can be a very common situation. Regards. James.
