They are ignored completely. I checked this by using "strace darcs..."  and
grepping for a system call to a boring directory. By doing this test with and
without an entry for a particular directory, I was able to confirm darcs does
truly ignore boring directories.

Perhaps, are you able to test with a newer version of GHC? 

Also, if you can try repeating the test with a darcs binary (available from the
wiki), that would be interesting as well. 

Thanks for the report!
