According to the manpage, I'd say the kernel is behaving as expected.
"Never" means never generate an audit record and "exclude" means even if
one was generated, it should be excluded. The two options together are
somewhat redundant but I don't think "never" was intended to mean "never
do what the previous option just said to do", at least not according to
the manpage.
