It's a matter of ordering. The rule for removing the local host as a
secondary MX has been applied before any tests for ignore_target_hosts.

The problem is that ignore_target_hosts is an option of the dnslookup
router. You are not using the dnslookup router when processing a host
list. Consequently, there is no facility for passing such information
when MX records are looked up in a host list by @mx_any.
