If one abandons the idea that there is a privileged 'now' (what philosophers call the A-theory of time, which is already difficult to make compatible with special relativity) this effect is not weirder than simultaneous entanglement -- admittedly, this is already sufficiently weird.
(Most physicists, and most philosophers, believe that the right theory of time is a B-theory of time: once every event is lain down in a four-dimensional spacetime diagram, there is nothing else to describe; no facts, in particular, about which of these different times is really now, the time at which the whole universe is.)
