Single MMS received causes multiple profile trigger events

I use Tasker to play a sound for incoming texts (SMS/MMS), so that I can check for various conditions (first).  For example, if I am in a meeting I don’t let it play the sound.

But, recently, there has been a change that I have been unable to resolve…

Anytime I receive an MMS the sound gets played 2 or 3 times, whereas SMS still plays a single sound.  This has only been a problem since Android version 8 (Oreo).  Prior to that Tasker saw a single notification for each SMS or MMS.  Nevertheless, I don’t know if the change occurred due to Android or the messaging app I’m using (which is Google Messages).  I started using that app around the same time I used Oreo.  In any case, I’m on Pie now, and the problem persists.

Can you please export your profile's description (not xml) so I can take a look? Long-click the profile in Tasker->export description Thanks in advance
