Nope; not a bug. Go into Clock and set an Alarm.

You know that you can have the phone alert you when you get new email right? (Settings > Sounds > New Email). I turned off that one early, so I forget if it persists an indicator on the screen, e.g., even if the phone is muted.
I'd be happy to retain the text-based Unlock-screen reminders/alerts if only they add something to tell me I have email waiting. Further, the text-based alerts aren't all that informative; if you miss more than one voicemail or text message, all you get is a note that you missed "x" number of voicemails or text messages (and perhaps who the last one was from).

Actually, there's plenty of Unlock-screen real estate to have both the message previews and a little 3-icon status bar, perhaps right under the time (or even tiny icons in the menu bar up top).

Exactly.
