INN 2.7.0 feeding "local" newsgroup to peers

Greetings,

I'm noticing odd behavior with a new INN 2.7.0 setup.  When I post to 
the "local" newsgroup on my server it is being sent to many peers I 
would not expect.  I'm using newsfeeds configurations given to me by 
peers and there are a mix of styles.  So I'm not sure if almost all of 
my peers are providing an improper newsfeeds config, or if something has 
changed.

Examples of newsfeeds configurations where "local" was fed to peers:

        :*,!*.bina*,!*.bain*,!*.dateien*,!*.pictures*,!junk/!local\
        :Ajfp,C20,G12,U5,<32768,Tm\
        :innfeed!

        :*,@*.bina*,@*.bain*,@*.dateien*,@*.pictures*/!local\
        :Afjp,Tm:innfeed!

        :*,!unidata.*,@*.bina*,@*.bain*,@*.dateien*,@*.pictures*/!local\
        :Ajp,Tm,<65536:innfeed!

        :*,!junk/!local,\
        :Ajp,Tm,<512000:innfeed!

        :*,!control*,!junk,!local.*,\
        !@alt.bin*, at alt.dvd*,!@*pedophil.*,@*dateien*,!@*.bain*,\
        !@*.biana*,!@*.biinaries*,!@*bina*,!@*.bineries*,!@*.binia*,\
        !@*.binries*,!@*.cd.image*,!@*.files.images*,!@*.mp3*,\
        :Afjp,Tm,<262144:innfeed!


The only example out of several peers with a local exclusion that did 
*not* feed the article to the peer:

   :!*,uk.*,cam.*,ed.*,alt.*,\
   gnu.*,demon.*,eternal-september.*,argonet.*,24hoursupport.*,\
   comp.*,news.*,soc.*,humanities.*,sci.*,talk.*,rec.*,misc.*,\
   at.*,aus.*,be.*,ch.*,cz.*,de.*,dk.*,ee.*,es.*,esp.*,\
   fr.*,grk.*,ie.*,hun.*,is.*,it.*,italia.*,malta.*,nl.*,\
   nz.*,pl.*,pt.*,se.*,sfnet.*,sk.*,us.*,\
   @*.bain*,@*.binar*,@*.mp3*,@*.pictures*,@*.biana*,@*.biinaries*,\
   @*.dateien*,@*.binaer,@*.warez*, at alt.bin*, at unidata.*\
   /!local\
   :<65536,Afjp,Tm,Wmn:innfeed!
