You have identified another bug, I just verified it. I have not explored the boundaries of this bug, but I set a pad-scope rule for 2 thermals when the board-scope rule was 4 thermals. Display of the ground plane was correct, the special pad showed 2 thermals and all others showed 4. However, in the gerber, all connected pads had 4 thermals. In other words, the gerber generation routine is broken here. A moderately harmless bug unless you really need differing thermal connections on a board, in which case it is downright irritating. (Once again, the rarity of this explains why we have been staring at this program for a long time and had not yet found this bug.)
