Routers R5, R2 and R6 are all IBGP peers with R2 configured as the Route 
Reflector. R5 has an EBGP peering to R4 and R6 has an EBGP peering to R9

R5-IBGP-R2-IBGP-R6
|                                              |
EBGP                                     EBGP

R4                                           r9

In this task R4 in AS4 is advertising the following loopbacks into BGP over to 
R5 in AS 256 (EBGP)

   Network          Next Hop            Metric LocPrf Weight Path

The task says to configure R5 so that R2 and R6 only see the loopbacks with 
even numbers in the second octet.  I configured everything up and set the 
community to no-export for the even numbered routes (204.40 && 204.32) and they 
are being sent over to R2 just as we would expect them to. If I look at the 
routes I see they are tagged with "no-export" on R2 and R6, however they are 
still showing up in R9's BGP table, but how come?

Here are some of the relevant config

R5(config)#do sh run | s bgp
router bgp 256
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
aggregate-address 204.40.0.0 255.252.0.0 suppress-map LOSE-THESE

neighbor 4.4.4.4 remote-as 4

route-map TAG-THESE permit 10

set community no-export
route-map FOR-R2 permit 20

R2(config)#do sh run | s bgp
router bgp 256
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
neighbor 5.5.5.5 remote-as 256
neighbor 5.5.5.5 update-source Loopback1

neighbor 6.6.6.6 update-source Loopback1
neighbor 6.6.6.6 route-reflector-client
neighbor 6.6.6.6 send-community
no auto-summary

Over on R6 we can see the routes are tagged with "no-community"
