I decided to dig into this, and it's not a bug. One should set:

(setq org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options t)

The trick was that these blocks were tag searches.

According to the documentation:

Documentation:
Non-nil means honor todo-list ...ignore options also in tags-todo search.
The variables
   `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date',
   `org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp',
   `org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled',
   `org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines'
make the global TODO list skip entries that have time stamps of certain
kinds.  If this option is set, the same options will also apply for the
tags-todo search, which is the general tags/property matcher
restricted to unfinished TODO entries only.
