It doesn't. As I understand from the documentation Stealth mode does not
change what is transmitted, only how the receiver displays it. Alarms are
fully functional at all times.

Why must people persist the myth that it cripples alarms?

BTW it would be possible to prove that a glider equipped with mandatory
Flarm was preventing it from transmitting data with tin foil by examining
the Flarm igc files or simply seeing them disappear on the Flarm tracker.
