No. I suspect you are not hurt by the bug because that exclude starts with a
wildcard (but I have not checked this).
Try an exclude that is at a lower level but does not start with a wildcard.
One of my excludes has:
'/home' =>
['.ccache', '.procmail/junkarchive'],
Of course these dirs are actually in /home/<user>/, so one level down. I
hope you'll agree that prepending ./ in those cases will make the excludes
rather meaningless...
