Okay, that still doesn't match the %changelog comment
where you say "excludearch i386". ;-)

Else it's expected. Plague actually evaluates ExclusiveArch (as well as
ExcludeArch) when deciding what archs to build for. That's by design.
It hasn't been changed since Extras era. Order of precendence is:
PlagueBuilder archs, BuildArch, ExclusiveArch

So, prefer ExcludeArch. That's also the Fedora recommendation.
Rule of thumb: Exclude all archs which are known to fail.
