The problem is that it sounds like you're using scheduled downtimes
incorrectly. It's not meant to be used for *un*scheduled downtimes; thus
the name.  It's meant to supress alerts from a machine during the
specified window, and that's exactly what it's doing in your case.

I can tell you that I'd really annoyed if it didn't work as advertised,
and *did* send alerts in the middle of the night when I was working on a
box and someone else was carrying the pager (well, I might not be the
guy to get annoyed, but I'd hear about it in the morning).

It sounds like you should probably be acknowledging critical services,
rather than marking them as being in scheduled downtime when they're
not.  That way the alerts stop until the service comes back up, and
you'll be notified when it changes state.
