It doesn't happen for me. Is your "rsync" command actually a shell
script which causes an extra round of substitution?

I assume you're comying from the server to the client? From "exclude"
in rsyncd.conf.5:
This is equivalent to the client specifying these patterns with the
--exclude option except that the exclude list is not passed to the
client and thus only apply on the server.
which means that if you do a --delete they are not excluded on the client.
It's as if the files don't exist at all on the server.
