And an additional update:
The issue seems to be resolved. I upgraded director and fd to the very
latest version and run a new full backup. Now, incremental backups with
accurate options do not include all files anymore.
I'm not totally sure if the update to the latest version was really
necessary, but maybe my steps help somebody with a similar problem.
Thanks for all input received!
