I don't think so, I use --exclude all the time and it works just fine.
For example, in one of my software projects where I have a .git directory:

   guin:python-psycopgwrap$ rsync -avn --exclude=.git . /tmp/
   sending incremental file list
   ./
   README
   psycopgwrap.py

   sent 90 bytes  received 21 bytes  222.00 bytes/sec
   total size is 8594  speedup is 77.42 (DRY RUN)

Then I tell it to exclude README as well:

   guin:python-psycopgwrap$ rsync -avn --exclude=.git --exclude=README . /tmp/
   sending incremental file list
   ./
   psycopgwrap.py

   sent 72 bytes  received 18 bytes  180.00 bytes/sec
   total size is 6670  speedup is 74.11 (DRY RUN)
