A workaround is to add other people's email addresses to your entry in Address Book, with a custom label set to their name. Now that label and email address will show up in the iCal email alarm drop-down box, and you can remind other people of things, instead of just yourself.
[robg adds: This works really well; just open Address Book, edit your card, and add a new entry in the email address section. Click on the automatically-chosen label ("work" or "home," for instance), and select "Custom..." from the pop-up menu. Enter the desired recipient's name, and then put their email address into the email side of the entry. When you return to iCal, you can now choose this name/email address in the alarm menu's email pop-up. Very nice -- hopefully Apple will eventually allow this behavior without the hoop jumping...]
