The behaviour is consistent: ignore-new only "discards" warnings about
uncommitted changes in you source tree. From the manpage:

| Build the .diff.gz and debian package although there are uncommitted
| changes in the source tree.

It has nothing to do with what will be part of the package or not. You
can take "uncommitted" changes into account by adding them to the index.
You can even export a completely different tree using --git-export.

P.S.: I'm also thinking about adding a --git-export=WC (working copy)
since others have asked for this too and I think it would also solve
your problem.
