Comment (by jchevali):

 As I said the client is capable of connecting to the HS despite the
 exclusion as long as it's 'fresh' (i.e., 'fresh' client meaning, the
 client is excluding now, but it's been restarted relatively recently not
 excluding).  It's only when it's been excluding for several days that it
 loses this ability.  That's why I thought the problem was not just the
 exclusion per se, but ''what'' due to the exclusion could have been added
 (or now be effectively missing) from the client's cache (here meaning disk
 cache - my uninformed assumption - but in fact as I can't look inside the
 memory cache it could be that one as well).
