Hmm. Okay, but I'm looking at a route-map clause that does a
"comm-list NNN delete" where the no-export community would be
permitted by comm-list NNN ... and shucks, that's it, isn't it? Since
the no-export community would get permitted by the list, it's getting
deleted (I saw deny and delete and put them together instead of
permit and delete).

Time to open a ticket, I guess. :-/ Thanks.
