Looks like there's 4 recipients for the replication check. Is the first recipient address the same as any of the others? They're blacked out so I can't tell. Other than that I'm not sure.

Is the same recipient/service combination listed more than once and without a delay on the info page for that host? Screenshot of the alerting table from the info page might help.
Not listed for same recipient/service w/out delay. Here's the image:

Thank you, but I think it must be something else.
"Configuring Xymon Alerts" at
https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/xymon-alerts.html states "TEXT"
is the default for FORMAT. Also the alert emails are successfully sent,
just not being delayed.
I checked the info page for the host for which I set the delay, and it
shows that there is, as expected, a 30m 1s delay for this notification.
However, this "delayed" notification is sent at the same time a
non-delayed notification (to a different address) for the same
host/service check.

Looks like you forgot the format part. Here's one from my server that works. The delay is seen on the info page on my server.

It's all on one line.

Is that all one line or two lines? Only asking because in the email it wraps it to two lines.

Hello,
Our Xymon server is monitoring about a hundred hosts and has been doing
so nicely for years.? However DURATION rule is being ignored. I have
several lines like this in alerts.cfg:
SCRIPT <script location> <email address> SERVICE=replication
DURATION>30m REPEAT=30d COLOR=red,purple
Replication is a custom check. But the alert (scripted email) is being
sent as soon as the check goes red, not 30 minutes later. Any
suggestions as to why this could be? Using Xymon 4.3.30.
