Huzzah!, someone else experiencing this...! One of the guys I work with has had a ticket open with Symantec with this exact issue... Of course, they've been telling him till they're blue in the face that theres no problem.
Dont suppose Symantec gave you a bug track ID for this...?

We currently have in each clients exclude list *.mdf, *.ndf and *.ldf to exclude all SQL database files. This would have gone un-noticed if it was not for our DBA who created some 1.8 TB of additional SQL databases on this specfic client of the cluster. The client was upgraded in the last month or two to the 7.0 level. One day I happened to notice the the backup for this client was taking longer the normal to backup. I looked into it and noticed a ton of SQL Database files contained in the Windows based backups. Symantec did the troubleshooting on the issue and discovered that Client side exclude lists were OK at the 6.5.5 level of code but stopped to function when the client was upgraded to 6.5.6. I was able to confirm that a client at 7.0 and 7.0.1 level of code also had the problem.
