I believe you are correct that you don't want to filter it out at the privoxy level. But I don't think it would result in a connection failure, but rather that the exit node specification would not be honored (other than by accident). A long time ago I think there was a problem with the .exit... in the URL being passed along to the website in the GET (or other) requests, which sometimes caused problems. Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I believe now something in the tor chain of software (client, relays, exit) filters that out.
