I also reported this on the Alarm UI replacement thread (but using stock 1.3)

He who spots the bug (no need to fix it, identifying is enough) will earn my eternal gratitude (even though I couldn't care less about that particular bug), and techstaff will get another donation.
So here you are: race condition :-D
dbus-monitor will reveal a message from UI to a non-existing destination or referring to a non-existing object.
Use /usr/bin/alarmclient (tools repo?) for further debugging resp a probably possible way to "fix" a current issue without reboot (pointer: check the alarm event in alarmclient, similar to:
Code:
     -b label=Snooze,flags=TYPE_SNOOZE+WHEN_RESPONDED \
     -b label=Stop,flags=TYPE_DBUS+WHEN_RESPONDED,\
     dbus_service=com.foo.bar,dbus_path=/com/foo/bar,\
     dbus_name=stop_clicked \
     -Dint32:124 -Dstring:hello \
     -n title='Two Button Alarm',message='Hello there',\
     alarm_time=20
- will tell you about which d-bus message/signal probably goes to nirvana since the alarmsound not yet playing)

PS: all of the above without any verification or check-back on system, just theory. So you will have to verify before you send that truck with eternal gratuite ;-)

PPS: a highly intriguing topic is to test all this on a device that got powered down ;-)
