Well, you can be forgiven for this, I think, because the manual says:
By excluding an area with a mask (an ""exclude"" mask), you are telling the
blender to exclude that region from consideration both when placing the
seam and when blending. The result is that you can remove a person or object
from the final stitch. You should only exclude a part of one photo if some
other photo shows the same part of the scene without that object, otherwise
you will get a black empty area in your final panorama.
When you include an object with a mask (""include"" mask) the opposite
happens, and that part of the scene is removed from all other photos. The
blender has no choice but to use the region in the photo you selected.
That last bit about the blender having no choice seems a bit strong in
light of Tmodes' explanation.
The tutorial on masking is more accurate, as noted already.
