Why do you think it is odd?
One general remark: the "/!local" part of of line is taken into account
against "Distribution:" header, not 'Newsgroup:" header.
So if you have no distribution header in you example - it should be
irrelevant (Correct me if I am wrong)

this config will aaccept newsgroup named "local" (because of first "*")

similary first "*" accept local

also first "*"

also first '*", here '!local.*" excludes subgroups of local
(ie. local.a,local.b) but no "local" itself.

here you exclude everything (!*) and then enable explictly some groups
and no "local" group.
