If your PIM is running, it's going to show you the last time you looked at it.
It won't wake up if it's off. Palms don't have an off.
This is nothing to do with Maemo, but with the lack of integration and polish on the PIM apps available.

Maemo has full support for alarms going off when the app which set them is not running, or the tablet as a whole is switched off. If your favourite app doesn't use the alarm API that's not a fault of the OS - or its multitasking nature.
