Thanks, Robert, but no, this is not the explanation. I did just as you
described before routing, in order to assign the signal names to the traces
and vias which are part of the component. I also unlocked all primitives of
that component. I do a complete DRC check which runs without errors. The
traces and vias are assigned to the correct nets. They just don't obey to
rules. E.g., I set a special rule for a special via size, and assign this
size to all the vias which are part of the BGA decal by global change. The
rule will not apply for them, but for all other vias with the same
specification, which are free primitives. Global change works on these
primitives, rules don't.

Gisbert,
One possibility might be?
Protel is not an intelligent enough program to
automatically know after synchronization that these traces
now in a PCB and attached to pads that now have nets
associated with should also be part of that net.
That being said you need go to Design/Netlist Manager
and click the Menu button in lower left corner to bring
up menu then use "Update Free Primitive From Component Pads"
This then makes ALL traces in the whole board that are attached to
pads the net associated with that pad. So just be aware when
doing this.
My feeling is if it was built into the footprint the system should
know to make i tpart of the net automatically.
Not sure but this may be why your taces do not adhear to rules,
I would think if you had online DRC turned on you would
also see green for all these tracks vs pads as clear/short errors.
