Okay.

I wonder how that could be possible: project-find-regexp (that if what 
you have 'C-x p g' bound to, right?) does the search across the files 
returned by 'project-files'. So there is just one place that interprets 
the ignores' list and produces the list of files, and both 
project-find-file and project-find-regexp consume the result.

Can you step through 'project-find-regexp' with edebug? Does the return 
value of 'project-files' (saved to 'files') contain the extra entries?

Or are you calling 'project-find-regexp' with a prefix, which switches 
it to a different mode (the 'project--files-in-directory' branch)?
