You're not supposed to get multiple results like that.

F5 support let me know that you're only supposed to get the last check's result and that the presence of other check results is due to a bug.

The details in the release notes drop some hints that might help you parse them if you're really interested and haven't yet upgraded.

The support technician let me know that I could enable "Monitor Logging" for particular members, and that might be a good way to get more detail on what the monitor sees. (Thanks, Chad!)
