This is a known problem with the alert mechanism. I posted an analysis
of why (I believe) it happens in this mailing list message:
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/07/msg00132.html
Unfortunately, there appears to be no way in current state to work
around the problem.

We had the same problem. We “solved” it by changing yellow to an “OK
color” in hobbitserver.cfg, so now it sends out recovered when it goes
from red to yellow. But if you have alerts on yellow, you probably
don’t want to do that.

I've noticed that if I have a situation where I have red alert that
turns yellow before finally returning to green that no recovery
messages are being sent. Alert notifications are only being sent on
reds, not yellow. I suspect that when the red turns to a yellow that
Hobbit is "forgetting" that it sent out the notification when it
turned red since it is not sending them out on yellows. Does anybody
out there know how to fix this?
