I think I may have found the bug. On reading the SDK Alarms API
documentation, it specifies that if the daysOfTheWeek are specified,
then it will strive to trigger the alarms on that day. Let me illustrate
an example here to explain.
Assume that the current date and time is Monday 15th April 10:00 AM, if
the user tries to set an alarm to trigger everyday Mon-Fri at 08:30 AM,
the alarm cannot trigger on 15th April Monday since that time has
already passed. So the alarms API then tries the next possible date
which is 21st April Monday at 08:30 AM which is a valid time instead of
triggering the alarm on Tuesday 16th April.
So this is a bug in the ubuntu clock app due to the way it creates new
alarms.

Title:
Upcoming recurring alarms on wrong day
Status in Clock application for Ubuntu devices:
Confirmed
Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “ubuntu-clock-app” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Open clock
Set alarm, make it occur every working day - and today is Tuesday.
Save alarm.
Pull down indicator, observe that "next" alarm is shown as "Mon" not "Wed"
which is tomorrow.
Expectation would be that the indicator shows the next alarm, not the
one 4 alarms away.
