It's not surprising, since keepouts are just regular primitives with the keepout attribute, but I had not thought of the implications. In another thread there has been a question about how to eliminate a DRC error with keepout violating against pads placed on or near the board outline or other keepout. It would appear that assigning a net to the pads and to the keepout would resolve this. Running actual track (not keepout) at the board edge, where it will overplot the outline (I always plot an outline; the fabricator will remove it, will cause connectivity for these pads; but the net assignments will be eliminated on synchronization. Perhaps using vias for those pads would be better. I don't have time to test it at the moment or to work out all the implications.....
