Clarifying: What triggers the unexpected behaviour is

%files
%{_libdir}/lib*-%{version}.so

%files devel
%{_libdir}/lib*.so
%exclude %{_libdir}/lib*-%{version}.so

lib*-%{version}.so is counted twice because it matches %{_libdir}/lib*-%{version}.so and %{_libdir}/lib*.so.

So %{_libdir}/lib*-%{version}.so is strictly speaking indeed packaged twice and then one of the copies is removed again via %exclude, but %exclude doesn't do what I expect it to do in that it prevents files from being packaged without caring about the payload size.

This can be fixed by counting %exclude'd files negative instead of counting them zero.
