"Privacy" URL filtering anomaly (SP 50)

Howdy,
I can't tell you how much I appreciate OW's URL filtering
capabilities, among other cool features and designs. Only once have
I wanted to see something that was filtered/banned by the Privacy
prefs.
This morning, though, I tried downloading an update to FruitMenu from
VersionTracker and was erroneously blocked.
Here are my filters:
<key>OWAddressesToFilter</key>
<array>
<string>/ads\..*\.net/</string>
<string>/ads\..*\.com/</string>
<string>/.*\.doubleclick\.net/</string>
<string>transfer\.go\.com</string>
<string>/ADSclicker.*</string>
<string>/adfarm.*</string>
<string>imglmb1\.com/</string>
<string>/adclick.*</string>
<string>/spinbox\..*</string>
<string>/ads/</string>
<string>image\.weather\.com/creatives/</string>
<string>\ad\..*\.com</string>
</array>
(I have neither of the "Don't automatically load images..."
checkboxes checked.)
And here's the offending link:
http://versiontracker.com/redir.fcgi/kind=1&db=macosx&id=12974/fruitmenu-152.sit
which was redirected to:
http://download.unsanity.com/fruitmenu-152.sit
and produced the "Cannot Load Address - This address has been
filtered by your privacy settings" message.
Am I missing something?
(Blue sky wishlist: It would be delightful if this type of incident
would display the pertinent filter and offer an override.)
Thanks.
Regards,
Maurice
