Answering myself on this one:
the described behaviour is expected.
Many thanks to Henrik for his input on this.
Background:
when collecting all exported resources the parser uses a “shortcut” and does
not inspect all exported resources.
When collecting a subset only, the parser needs to inspect all exported
resources to analyse what to collect and what not.
Fix: set a sane default for all parameters in exported resources.
