Hmmm… I actually changed that on purpose because I thought the other was misleading.
We build the masks for the mask layers differently depending on whether or not the pads have any copper layers. We don’t treat the pad clearance differently based on that constraint. Now it’s true that we only check clearance between two items on the same copper layer, but that’s subtly different than “not on any copper layer”.
