This is correct.

It's not really "ghosting" the tag. A ghosted tag is one which has  
been sent in an initial "SUPPORTED" node of a SYNC request. When  
editing the object on the client, if the property is not changed from  
the initial value then it is not sent in the MODIFY command (i.e., it  
is ghosted). If the element is not sent during the INITIAL creation,  
it has no value (i.e., there is no reminder set).

When setting the reminder for "At the day of the Event" it should go  
off at the beginning of the day i.e., 12:00am, which is also the start  
time of an all day event. In other words, it's 0 minutes before the  
start time.

No. See above.

Gotta love it.
