Jonah, Yoast sitemap only shows one instance for each event, even if it is recurring; There is only one event post for each one and the calendar and other event loops link only to one page with one unique URL (with no date). So it seems pretty solid to me. We can confirm once we launch it on production and check Google Webmaster Tools to see what they see.
Great!
You said “How can we prevent search engines from indexing this content?”, so I assumed your current solution of blocking all of the content was not adequate. Sounds like it is so that is awesome!
We have a beta version of a plugin that links all instances of a recurring event to ONE post and eliminates this SEO and usability issue. Still working out the mass handling of changing all events in a series from draft to published and then are going to update it to work with version 3.0 of the EC plugin.
In the meantime, you can try setting a canonical URL for search engines to defer to, but not sure what it would take in terms of upkeep in the case of your particular work flow. Still, better than blocking the whole thing.
