That's good to hear. Thanks! (And it's encouraging to hear that there is
a "team". :-) )
I'm not getting this problem with my same calendars on my Android 4.1.2
phone, and there hasn't been an Android update for my phone in months.
So this seems to indicate that the problem might be with Lightning.

Don't take that too broadly, we don't have any more contributors than

before. Of course its not just me working on the project, so I didn't
want to write "I".

The problem seems to be that Google no longer roundtrips X-Props
correctly, which we rely on for alarms.

Any update on this problem? Has this been confirmed as a regression that

might be caused by changes in Google Calendar CalDAV server?

This seems to be a bug at Google's end.

Here's a workaround[1]:
As a workaround you can disable alarms by unchecking "Show Alarms" in
the calendar properties dialog.
[1]by Philipp Kewisch. Source:

Here's another workaround (that *might* work):
My alarm dialog went away after I set: Tools / Options / Calendar /
Reminders, and deselected "[ ] Show the reminder dialog". Since I have
15 CalDAV calendars, that was the simpler solution (only 1 procedure
instead of 15).
Please add other workarounds (and comments on and corrections to
workarounds already posted here) to this thread.

mean time:
1) When the reminder pops up, click the "Details..." link under the
event title.
2) Make a change to the event's title, such as adding a space to the end
3) Change the reminder setting to "No Reminder" to dismiss it, or select
"Custom" and choose a specific future time to snooze it.
4) Click "Save and Close".
