The data sent through Silent Alarms isn't being communicated perfectly, in some areas two instances of nova will disagree about the features with what should be the same data, although it is usually very close. Areas to look at would be the serialization, the socket sending, receiving and deserialization.

It is also possible that the data needs to be more uniform or adjusted upon receipt to account for the fact that this is a different instance. An example of this would be in the IPTable, all host events were formerly stored with the key of the local nova instance's IP addr, Now all host events go to the key of 1 (not a valid IP).
