I don't think it is /too/ bad.. however you get into weird circumstances
where you have an event happen, you notice it through some other means, you
respond to the event (e.g. reply to an IM), and /then/ the notification pops
up.

I don't think there is an elegant solution to this without accumulating
messages. On a totally related note, why doesn't NotifyOSD do this again? I
know it is for a very specific reason, I just can't recall what that reason
is.. probably related to information overload.
