`excluded_paths` requires an exact match?

I'm trying to exclude some assets provided by the avo gem, and I've added this to config/initializers/assets.rb:

Rails.application.config.assets.excluded_paths = [
  Avo::Engine.root.join("app/assets")
]

But I'm still getting assets from avo in public/assets/avo when I precompile assets.

If I inspect Rails.application.config.assets.paths in a console I can see that there are paths for several avo asset directories:

> Rails.application.config.assets.paths
=>
[
# snip
 "/Users/jgreen/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.4.1/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/avo-3.17.2/app/assets/builds",
 "/Users/jgreen/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.4.1/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/avo-3.17.2/app/assets/config",
 "/Users/jgreen/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.4.1/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/avo-3.17.2/app/assets/stylesheets",
 "/Users/jgreen/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.4.1/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/avo-3.17.2/app/assets/svgs",
# snip
]

If I explicitly add each of those sub directories to excluded_paths then it works to exclude the avo assets.

Rails.application.config.assets.excluded_paths = [
  Avo::Engine.root.join("app/assets/builds"),
  Avo::Engine.root.join("app/assets/config"),
  Avo::Engine.root.join("app/assets/stylesheets"),
  Avo::Engine.root.join("app/assets/svgs")
]

I would expect that Avo::Engine.root.join("app/assets/builds") (for example) should automatically be excluded when the parent directory of Avo::Engine.root.join("app/assets") is excluded.
