It depends on how the exception is understood. As the texlive distribution on 
Mac comes with its own distribution of ghostcript and ImageMagick, I considered 
that the exception was applied to the whole package, and not only to the pure 
tex binaries. 

However, after checking, I realised that the binaries for ghostscript and 
ImageMagick are installed in /usr/local/bin and not in /usr/texbin as the tex 
executables, so that they are in a path which should be avoided from the start, 
contrarily to what I thought. I thus reverted it in r98704. 

Thanks for the remark.
