Several taxpayers have received notices indicating tax due, even though amended returns have been e-filed several weeks prior to notice being received.

Patience will eventually take care of this. IRS reacts quickly, but moves slowly.

The IRS bills are typically an automated system.

Amending returns is not automated - it usually take two to four MONTHS for the IRS to process an amended return.  So if you e-filed them only a few weeks ago, it will likely be some time before the IRS processes them.

Yes, some people still don't realize that e-filing an amended return is like emailing IRS a pdf.  It goes in the processing grinder a few days earlier than one that is mailed.
