This behavior has not changed over the years. You've found that the /home folder exists on a separate partition than /. What is the value of RsyncShareName? If it's just the default of "/", then that's the only partition which will be examined by rsync and no other partitions will be considered. This is because of the default flag --one-file- system. Again, it's up to you if you want to target the /home partition directly (by adding it to the RsyncShareName list), or capture all filesystems by excluding that default rsync flag.
The question about which overrides what in the include/exclude lists doesn't come into play unless you're actually scanning the /home partit ion. See the docs for specifics regarding that once you get your partition to scan. Hope this helps!
